I am really excited now, as we just got our formal approval for finance and now we will be starting at the end of Feb....ohhh so excited LOL! Littlewing I am building in Maddingley, basically in the heart of Bacchus, it was the last block in the street as the estate is an older one. We did consider Darley, but it was way too hilly and slopey and would have cost a bomb to build there. So we were ecstatic when this block came up, its 1581 sq.m (almost half an acre) and it's flat. I like Plumpton too and actually considered building there too for a while, can you believe it LOL. But I just love Bacchus, and it's central to my family so that's why we settled for there. I have had good experiences so far with Carlisle, but it's early days yet, I hope it keeps going well. My CLE is really nice and friendly and she always goes out of her way for us. I hope our SS does the same, I guess we'll find out soon enough. I checked out product review and that's actually what sealed the deal for me with Carlisle. I originally liked a Dennis Family house, but after reading posts on product review, I decided no. I like Carlisle's designs and they have heaps of luxury extras included in the base costs. Every little bit helps, especially when you're spending so much hard earned money. Willow2012 how's your build coming along? Your 3 year old sounds adorable. My kids would probably get stuck on something like the tap too LOL. It's shiny and it's new and it's yours! voni74 building Atlantique MK2 with Carlisle Homes Contract signed 05/12/12 Site cut 19/03/13 Slab pour 10/04/13 Frame 22/04/13 Lock-up 14/05/13 Carlisle use to sneak a water resistant "Performance Solution" into their contracts.
