Does anyone had fixed site cost with Carlisle and got money returned if no rocks found. In my render they've included 13k rock removal allowance and mentioned that I will get the full or some of the credit back if they found no rocks or less rocks. (if cost exceed 13k then i dont have to pay anythi...

Well color selection was a success. And the design consultant was wonderful, but that was expected at Carlisle homes. They really are very helpful and point you in the right direction. I once again stand my ground in saying you can't go wrong with Carlisle homes. Diffenently the best big builders a...

Yes, Carlisle seems to be the right choice for me as well. But you got to cross check everything till you finalize the ...

Hi Bakso, I think your understanding is correct. But please confirm with someone who knows better than my self. After I get the pricing of this I've decided not to go for it and didn't figure out exact functionality of it as well. We wanted to go for it when our sales guy initially quoted only $531,...

Hi Bakso, Either they must included more expensive zoning option or could well be a major mistake. Hi Harishka, I received my contract today, So many mistakes sigh... One of them is I have been quoted $1,062 for 2 zones. The article state: Provide 2No. Zone Motors to ducted heating unit to isolate ...

Hi Bakso Sorry I had made a mistake above. Back then in January affinity range didn't have flooring included. So I asked for cat 3 and above is the total cost for cat 3 not an upgrade from cat 1. With regards to zoning I was quoted $531 for 2 zones and another $900+ for upgrade heater from 3 to 4 s...

Hey how much extra is it to go the bigger tiles. I'm covered for 400 X 400 what if I go bigger how much extra is it? Well it totally depends on what tiles you selected. Most of the time its not the tile size (for ex: 300 x 600 vs 600 x 600 there's no much price difference in tile cost) but the labo...

Allowances such as eaves around all house, extended benchtop, square set cornice throughout. Extra for waffle slab in alfresco, then what concrete would they put otherwise?

Just looked at my quote and it states. 2-7 concrete floor to alfresco (house specific). House specific? Surely atlantique is covered when your with affinity range (top range).
