Would love to get more of an idea of what it mind end up costing me. I've just done my colors and upgrades today. Happy to share pricing if you'd like to inbox me. We spent $20k in upgrades.

Hi Porc tiles for us was about 6.3k if i remember well.Depends with your choices and things u pick us approx 30k Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 44Nov 06, 2016 8:54 pm mich1 Thank you, I've allowed $30k for upgrades, hopefully that will be enough. Sure you will be fine if you check our list of upgrades added everything except blinds, landscaping and driveway Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 45Nov 06, 2016 9:05 pm I saw your list and that makes me breathe a little easier. How did you score bonus Evap cooling and ceasarstone kitchen bench, Was that a special offer they had? What were the robe towers like?

I guess my hubby is always asking for discounts but the sales guy was really good as well. Robetower i dont have an image but you can choose 1 or 2 towers, 1 has 4 drawers and 4 shelves Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 49Nov 06, 2016 9:31 pm Jojo2014 snapey I wish we scored free evaporative cooling! Cost us a fortune 😣 Yeah they are quite pricey it came in handy I was asking for a discount and all I got was a free access door from the garage and stone bench top to kitchen ?

Would love to get more of an idea of what it mind end up costing me. Hi Mich1 - sure, I can help out. PM me the list of upgrades you were looking for as the entire list is a bit exhaustive to type Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 52Nov 07, 2016 9:45 pm mich1 I saw your list and that makes me breathe a little easier. How did you score bonus Evap cooling and ceasarstone kitchen bench, Was that a special offer they had? What were the robe towers like? Thanks to Jojo2014, I was able to request for the same freebies as well! I think it may be dependent on the house size/price though - not sure if some are only given to double storeys etc. Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 53Nov 07, 2016 10:14 pm delirium211 mich1 I saw your list and that makes me breathe a little easier.

Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 54Nov 07, 2016 10:26 pm I didn't ask for Jojo2014s sales though so I reckon might be different. My contact is Brad Kilsbey though - not sure if its the same one. Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 56Nov 07, 2016 10:40 pm mich1 No that's a different one, I'll be trying my luck for sure, anything thrown in as a bonus certainly helps. I tried to get some things thrown in for free and we got stone bench to kitchen and an access door from the garage (which he later told me everyone gets 😂) Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 58Nov 09, 2016 8:44 pm will also be following this thread.. we are also building with Easy Living by Carlisle next year, initially I was doubtful if we made the right choice but now seeing this thread I feel relieved somehow ? Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 59Nov 09, 2016 10:19 pm [quote="Jojo2014"]Yeah its tricky to know if its really free as they won't say the base without site costs /quote] Yeah we got 'base cost' of our house after they added in estate guidelines, bushfire and airport acoustics so we gave no idea how much the house alone costs Re: Carlisle Easy Living Peninsula 33 60Nov 10, 2016 7:58 am snapey Jojo2014 Yeah its tricky to know if its really free as they won't say the base without site costs /quote] Yeah we got 'base cost' of our house after they added in estate guidelines, bushfire and airport acoustics so we gave no idea how much the house alone costs What I did was to go to another sales office and requested for a rough estimate, and they pretty much ended up on par with the actual quote. I would guess the base would be around total price minus roughly 15 k (usual figure for site costs in other builders). But then their base price already includes a lot of inclusions other builders have as upgrades.
