Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to do a post contract variation with CH? We needed some downlights added and a few more electrical power points done on the ground floor. However, our inept, slow and inexperienced CLO advised us we CH don't do any post contract variations?? Thanks. Regards, Wi...

Yes, you can. Think you need to pay some $$ ($100 or $500) to get it change. Is stated in the contract. At what stage a...

Hi, Was wondering if anyone has done this before? We were asked to install an temporary electricity pillar before CH could start and also an electricity pit. I understand the temp electricity pillar whilst under construction would feed off the pit. I'm in an established neighbourhood with three othe...

Hi Guys, Has anyone successfully brought in their own tradies whilst the building was being done? We wanted to get our own sparky around to do the CAT6 Cables to somewhat future proof the house. During the tender and sales stage, and via our Client Liason Officer that no contractors outside of those...

We had all our stuff a week before signing we would of refused to continue if we were not able to. Not sure how they justify a 2k charge :o All your stuff a week before signing the FINAL Contract I assume? So I'm assuming you were also notified of a $2K charge if you took the tender docs out of the...

Hi All, Was wondering if anyone can help, we are up to the tender stage and were advised if we were to take out the tender papers with the prices on them it would cost us $2,000. If we sign there straight away it would be $0 surcharge. Is this normal? Thanks. Regards, Will.

Hi All, If someone could help us through building our first home, it would be great as we know next to nothing. So the story so far...we've decided to build the Baltimore 40. We have our own block of land which we purchased many years ago (about 10 yrs) and decided to bulldoze the old building to bu...

Hi, Did anyone add Brivis Ice Add-on cooling? do you know cost on double story? We were quoted $14K for a refrigerated system on a double storey, I think 12 points from memory. I dont think we'll be going for this option though.

Hi All, Has anyone here checked how they waterproof the balcony on 2 storey models and also did anyone bother to change the showers in the bathrooms to a basin type? We visited a friend's home completed 2 yrs ago (by Me*con) and found that drainage on the balacony suffered from seepage. He strongly ...

Hi All, We were quoted $4K for the 8 point data pack, which seemed excessive....did anyone manage to get around this or get it cheaper? We wanted to get our own sparky, but the sales consultant told us that there would be insulation between the wall cavities once built, so I'd imagine it would be su...

When do l negotiate price with Carlisle, is it before l put down the $1000 depoist? Agree with CBPH on this. We only tried during tender after seeing our huge site costs but to no avail. Looking back, we feel we should have bargained during sales stage itself. Or maybe we're just not good at price ...
