Browse Forums Building A New House Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 5495Aug 30, 2014 4:44 pm Hi all, We signed our contract about last week. We received final drawings yesterday AND a contract variation doc raised by carlisle. Long story short, we'll need to pay for the missing items eg feature walk colours and silk finish for bathrooms, which are listed on the colour sketch but not on tender doc (which they forgot to charge). They also added the cost for extra insulation so that our house can meet 6 star energy rating ( we're already paying for an extra solar panel being a north facing house, and for laminated class plus thicker plaster being in an area affected aircraft noise!!! Can someone tell me how to deal with this? I may have to pay for the missing items but paying extra for insulation is ridic, as they advertise 6 star rating as an inclusion; and we are already paying heaps for solar panel and thick plaster plus laminated glass windows! Please helpppp!!! Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 5496Aug 30, 2014 6:48 pm Have you changed something structural like added windows, relocated windows etc?

I will do it first thing on Monday. another structural change (a requirement) means that our ceiling and wall batts will be thicker to meet aircraft requirement. I personally believe that thicker wall batts mean better insulation, plus the thicker windows glasses?? 0 5015 We are at the stage on our build in Kilcoy, Queensland where we need to get our fencing installed but we cant get any contact details for our neighbours to give them… 0 6209 You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14160 |
