Are these allowances usually under or over quoted. Just wanna know if when going to tender if it will end up cheaper then quoted or more.
what kind of allowances are they?

House specific? Surely atlantique is covered when your with affinity range (top range). Il be devastated if I gotta pay extra for concrete for alfresco as well. I built an Affinity home with Carlise concrete was extra to our alfesco Site Cut 8/04/12 Slab 13/04/12 Frame 18/04/12 Roof 07/05/12 Lock Up 06/06/12 Keys 30/08/12 Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4067Aug 07, 2013 3:57 pm February12 Thanks Coobri Can I pay for it now or should I wait till after contract? As long as they have a copy of payment before they start on site I think it lasts for 12 months from day of payment Site Cut 8/04/12 Slab 13/04/12 Frame 18/04/12 Roof 07/05/12 Lock Up 06/06/12 Keys 30/08/12 Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4068Aug 07, 2013 4:51 pm Coobri Well my quote states "concrete floor to alfresco included" So if that's included in my quote I shouldn't have to pay extra. How long ago did you build Carlisle maybe its a new thing they introduced. Anyways I don't mind if I don't concrete there as il eventually put decking and prob look nicer if you don't see concrete in the gaps. Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4069Aug 07, 2013 8:55 pm Wirepower Allowances such as eaves around all house, extended benchtop, square set cornice throughout. Extra for waffle slab in alfresco, then what concrete would they put otherwise? Hi Wirepower, From my tender experience I found that most of the allowance is actually come back lower but I think it really depends on what the allowance is for... Wirepower Just looked at my quote and it states. 2-7 concrete floor to alfresco (house specific). House specific? Surely atlantique is covered when your with affinity range (top range). Il be devastated if I gotta pay extra for concrete for alfresco as well. I think the different between this and Hariska's$2,231 upgrade is Harriska has chosen to extend the Raft Slab to the Alfresco Area (originally just the house area excluding porch and alfresco). The standard quote will be only poured concrete to the Alfresco & Porch area - no Slab. From my reading and research it looks like if you will put a deck / paving / tiles in the future it really doesn't matter whether you upgrade or not.

I wonder where is mine I'm still quite shocked Is your land titled yet? Hey Feb! Make certain to tell your CLE right away that you require sufficient time to review your contract before signing. It takes them a couple weeks to draft the contract so maybe ask to have the signing a week later and keep them on the ball about it (ie ask you CLE repeatedly so they know you're serious). I thought I had plenty of time to read the contract and get it inspected as well but did not and received contracts 3 days beore signing and it was all a scramble in the end (also because I had to sign contract by a certain date in order to be eligible for a promo). Keep in mind i already notified them i needed extra time. it pays to be persistent as cle's can be forgetful. Be VERY clear that you want time to review before signing as they are obligated to give you this. In fact, in the contract it asks if you had enough time to go through it!

Hi Wirepower, That's what I thought till I was told otherwise. I'm very upset and disappointed and I'm not going to pay $2200. I'm going to check externally how much will it cost to get this done. Some ppl in this forum mentioned that it's so much better to get the builder to pour the concrete without doing it later. but due to the money constraint I don't have an option it seems.

Unfortunately Atlantique has side alfresco and therefore they wont do it unless we pay for it. Harishka Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4074Aug 07, 2013 9:59 pm February12 Hamilton23 February12 I'm asssuming your in Melton shire, like me and later on you'll need to apply for asset protection permit and looking on the website it seems it only costs $100, so hopefully that's all it costs, but will find out at contract time as CLE is meant to advise as they can't start till they get the permit Wow thats cheap. I'm in Cardinia Shire and our asset protection permit was $220 plus a $860 security deposit! all i could find online was the asset protection which is $100 BUT we'll see what CLE says at contract day, I'm sure there is extra cost that I'm not aware of For asset protection I only paid 100 I also thought it would be more. You go into the caroline spring library as there's a shire of Melton office there and pay. HD Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4075Aug 07, 2013 10:01 pm Harishka, have you looked at other threads on here of people building the Atlantique? It's quite a popular house and I know there's at least one thread.

I wonder where is mine Hi Bakso, No, I didn't ask for upgrade slab option to Alfresco. I was told at the tender that I don't get concrete at all to alfresco, only porch will get the concrete as part of the slab. then I requested them to include concrete to alfresco (didn't mention whether its raft slab as I had no clue what that was) then they came up with the quote and it is $2231 Harishka Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4077Aug 07, 2013 10:07 pm viewtopic.php?t=61526 Here is the link to an Atlantique mk2 thread, might be able to ask the op their experience?

Unfortunately Atlantique has side alfresco and therefore they wont do it unless we pay for it. My understanding is when looking at the floor plans, if it has the picture of little square (indicating pillar) then concrete is incl. if no pillar, no concrete Building the Porter Davis Dunedin 29 maybe, thinking of forfeiting deposit and going with CH or UE Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4080Aug 08, 2013 9:52 am LittleWing For asset protection I only paid 100 I also thought it would be more.
