    I also notice that in the brochure there is mention of Cat5e ( Internet cable ) included... Is this the case? as I was unable to find any in the current showhouse?

    I was interested in this particular element, so read a bit more about it in the brochures. They have CAT5 wiring around the house, so for example you can hook up your router in the living room, another router upstairs set up as an access point (to extend the WiFi signal), and your smart TV in the bedroom.

    Is Tom the main foreman on site?

    Regarding the 3 beds, spec appears to be a little different on the new units..

    granite surrounds on all 4 sides of windows and a cobble lock driveway are 2 of the changes I have noticed to date...

    I also notice that in the brochure there is mention of Cat5e ( Internet cable ) included... Is this the case? as I was unable to find any in the current showhouse?

    Main foreman onsite is Bill and Tom would be his right hand man. Two sound guys and have been great coming back and getting little bits and bobs fixed even after we moved in. Honestly I cannot fault them, they worked to ensure we got in for Christmas really pulled out all the stops to get us the keys the day before Christmas Eve. The granite surrounds are the same, cobble lock driveway in new, would have loved a cobble lock driveway.

    HA! Internet! The house is wired for Cat5 apparently, same was in BC brochures but internet cannot go in until Eir lay the cables and they have a number of disputes with the developers. We are in since Christmas and still have no internet but Eir told me yesterday the cables would be laid by March 28 following the current dispute with developers being resolved. If you have a look online the BC brochure is fairly easy to find and you can do a comparison of the two and judge what things are promised and what are delivered.

    Thanks,

    I usually run my own network anyway , just curious to see which rooms the cat5 will be run into initially.

    Would also commend Bill and Tom. Very helpful, approachable and accomodating!

    Cat5 converges at the office space. In the 4 beds it goes to all rooms bar the two smaller bedrooms, can't comment on the 3 beds.

    For anyone who might be interested in seeing where their new house is relative to existing google earth image of 6th Feb 2016, I managed to copy the HH site plan from Fingal site and overlay it onto google earth.

    I'm intrigued by the configuration of the gardens too. We have one of the back rowers so we have still a while to wait. Is there a planned green behind the proposed petrol station- Just going by the landscaping plans you posted?

    Yes, My understanding was that there is to be 2 green areas. Initial plans were for 2 football pitches ( astro turf).... I think that has now changed to 1 astro turf pitch down the Balbriggan side of the estate and a wild flower green area behind the proposed Petrol station ( But I could be wrong on that!??)

    The tiered gardens in their current guise look small ( in comparison to the current show house), but I'm sure they will be fine once the soil has been scrubbed back.


    Anyone got clarification form the builders Re. Tiered gardens??

    I enquired the other day and was told that the contracts have not gone out yet as there is an outstanding item the developer's solicitor is waiting on before he can issue them. I was then told that they did not expect any further delays though!
