Has anyone got photos of their single storey facades? We picked the Sierra but I don't like the window, only opens a little bit on one side. Has anyone changed the window out? I've not asked if they can do that yet. Also struggling with colours I chose the Sierra. It's on my Instagram... Two window...

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue - Survey Pegs going missing? On the side of our block where the neighbours builders have started and the temporary fence is up the two survey pegs have gone missing. The other side of the boundary where there is no building both pegs are still there....

Rare for pegs to go missing as they are stuck in the ground pretty good. Do not mistake these with your boundary marker...

hi guys.. A question regarding loan. Hopefully someone could shed light on this. We already have signed the Building contracts and have the Loan approved by the bank as of last week. Lets say my loan was approved based on a contract of 300K for the build. Due to some variations and cost cutting, i ...

I had a surplus through CBA on my loan of about $8k. I had it transferred into my bank account which will come in handy...

Hi Guys, How often do you guys visit your site? Once a week? Everyday? Pretty much everyday during the week and once on the weekend. It's become harder now that daylight savings is over :(

Hi guys, It's my first post here and I only created an account to warn all of you building with Carlisle. Everyone seems to focus on upgrades etc forgetting that the most important should be the structure of your future home. We just finished frame stage and our inspector found a lot of issues with...

I chose not to get an independent building inspector. I definitely think it's peace of mind though. The inspector Carls...

Hi all just a quick one when going the fixed site cost option with Carlisle homes do they credit you back any amounts that have not been used in the site costs? They don't. It's sort of a risk both the builder and you take. It can either a) work in your favour where site costs work out to be more b...

Building next to investment properties and fencingBuilding A New House

Mar 20, 2015 7:02 pm

Hi guys, I'm building in a new estate and the 3 lots to my right are being built by the same builder which looks to be like a 'build then sell' scheme. Just wondering what the chances are that the builder will just pay for the fencing to be done as it will most likely be in the investors package. Do...

Hello We are building a Milano 51 right now. It has been a painless experiance so far. The CLE and SS are both very good. Helpful and fast to respond. Only issue I have with Carlisle is the fridge space. The space they have provided is not enough for the newer french door refrigerators. I have no p...

my biggest regret is not increasing the size of the fridge space
