Is this normal?? We have been very pleased with everything else so far but we are annoyed about the contracts coming so late!! How are we meant to get time to read over them? Should we be worried about building with them? How long before contract signing appointment did you receive yours? Thanks Kym Hi there We received 1 day before signing.Why not talk to your CLE about it.

Should we be worried about building with them? How long before contract signing appointment did you receive yours? Thanks Kym Ours came by courier at about 6pm the day before our contract signing. We definitely felt rushed, but our CLE gave us plenty of time at the appt to ask questions and go through things.

Thanks anyway! Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 3351Oct 03, 2012 12:45 pm 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, Willis.

Think you need to pay some $$ ($100 or $500) to get it change. Is stated in the contract. At what stage are you in? Is your final drawing out yet or has your house commenced building?

It has not commenced building, I think the final drawing has been given to us (I assume this is the one we got after signing the contract). Who would I need to speak to if I can't get past the CLO? Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 3354Oct 03, 2012 3:22 pm You get your final drawings once you have land titles and council permits, which need to be signed off just before you go to site We had the option of adding in as there was a lot of delays with our title and were still a little way off starting. Whos your CLE?

Whos your CLE? We're actually a demolish and build job, so a little different, however, we have not had the council permits yet. We are in the stage where they are conducting a 2nd soil test, our old house has been demolished. I will PM you who our CLO is, sorry to say, she is hopeless, absolutely hopeless....I have to recheck EVERYTHING she advises us and take with a grain of salt everything she emails me. There were things that had I not checked over which would have gone wildly astray and cost us a heap in the process. Jen, by the way, did it cost you much to do a variation? Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 3356Oct 03, 2012 4:05 pm We didnt end up doing it, but it was only going to cost us the original price of the upgrade, no extra for having a variation. If you havent had your finals started to be drawn up I dont really see why they cant. Building the Carlisle Sienna 31 at Somerfield Lot 1550 The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 3357Oct 03, 2012 4:18 pm You can definitely do a PCV. The cost is specified in our contract. I think it's $250 but don't quote me. Could you ask for a new CLE? Ours has been absolutely brilliant!
