Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building Amalfi 530 with Mainvue 61Mar 18, 2014 10:35 am Hi guys, I'm looking at building with MainVue also the Amalfi632 with study option. I'm actually very confused as I have heard so many horror stories. Never built before and don't really know the difference between PD, Carlisle and MainVue. Going by this thread Kamiabhi's home looks great. Hope you guys can help with your advice. Should I sign on the dotted lines.

Hopefully, independent inspector will pick everything we missed! <b>Front Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Side Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Back Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Front door Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Entrance Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Theatre Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kitchen Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Pantry Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Timber doors Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Family Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bathroom Vanity Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Shower Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bath Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Dining Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Flooring Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ </b> Re: Building Amalfi 530 with Mainvue 65Mar 21, 2014 1:27 pm looks great!..is that your backyard beyond the dining room, its huge!

We found Communication leading upto build awful but after that things were better.
