Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Carlisle Homes heading North 8Nov 12, 2007 8:43 am mattwalker rerob1 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 Hey Ruth. 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/ May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner?
