Top 10 builder Carlisle Homes will now be building homes in the west & north west of Melbourne. New display villages with brand new designs will be opening at the Rise, Tarneit at the end of November & Delfin, Caroline Springs in January 2008. . . . Previously specialising in the South East, the company has expanded to meet demand for their innovative & award winning quality homes from consumers in other areas... Cheers, Mike.

Completed OB project and moved in to our new home with our new baby in May 2009! Re: Carlisle Homes heading North 5Nov 09, 2007 11:17 pm Hey Matt, seriously speaking....do they alter their plans? I like the single story layouts but would want to make a few changes here and there! And what are their standard inclusions like? I am serious about looking into them....we still aren't completely convinced with any of our current selection of builders....

Ruth, When it came to alterations I found them to be fairly accomodating (as did Firthy i think) they will move / remove non structural walls. They will extend rooms out etc. The standard inclusion list was reasonable compared to the other big builders but I spent over $100,000 in upgrades without going OTT!!! ![]() They are worth a look ![]() Re: Carlisle Homes heading North 7Nov 09, 2007 11:57 pm Thanks I am on their site now, pretty happy with some of their inclusions....I will be scouring your blog and posts again to see if I can find out more info and then go and find their display homes!

Compared with other builders we originally got quotes from for alterations etc.. Carlisle were very helpful & could help us with everything we wanted. eg. knocking out walls, moving walls, extensions, windows, door sizes etc. Take a look at our blog & read one the original posts. A little in there about it. Would definately recommend taking a drive one w/end & checking out their display homes over this side of town. Overall we are very happy with their progress... up to this point! ![]() Cheers, Mike. My Blog... http://ahouseonthehill.blogspot.com/ Does anyone have any experience working with GJ Gardner Homes North East Melbourne to build a custom home? If yes, can you pls share some feedback? Thanks! 0 1050 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 4914 |
