There are few minor errors. We are thinking of adding extra cupboards in the Laundry. Does any one know whether we can do this at the contract appointment or is it too late..... Can only speculate, but I believe it would depend if they need to do much change to the structure (most likely not for a few cupboards), if there is space and if they will actually do extra/extending. We wanted cabinetry (effectively small half height double door cupboards) added to the hallway (nice wide hallway), however we were told that Carlisle won't do extra cabinetry/cupboards, however, another person who built with Carlisle said they got extra cabinetry work done without issue. You can only ask and the contract person will let you know - they will also go cost/inquire things while you sign the mountain of pages. Small changes such as electrical were no issue and fixing errors they had made in the document from our experience. Anything they can't work out on the day will go on another list to be followed up. Let us know how you go with the request and the response you get. Thanks Jason! Will keep you updated after the contract appointment! We signed our contract & everything went off really well.Our CLE was really accommodative of all our changes. We had about 10 changes altogether. Some that we requested were sliding door in master bedroom in leu of the window, change of sink position in butlers pantry, broom cabinet to laundry, timber entertainment doors, double railing to all rooms and few electrical changes. We were able to get all changes approved! So happy with Carlisle homes!!!!

I just wanted to know of anyone has been successful in amending or removing parts of the contract. I'm referring to Carlisle conditions and clauses. Not changing the house or adding power sockets. Will they negotiate on this or are they set in stone? Thanks Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4219Oct 07, 2013 10:06 am walkz187 Hi all I'm going to sign my contract today.
