I was trying to open your inspection report and was not able to open it. Did you engage the private inspector at pre slab stage and frame as well? Thanks Color was partner & color consultant. I didn't post our inspection report online - just a picture / references to things flagged. We had it for frame, pre plaster and soon pre hand over (3 stages). There is different pricing depending on how many inspections you plan to have / different stages attract different prices. There are a few threads in this forum discussing the value / what stages for inspectors to check. If you want to see inspection reports (NHI & a Carlisle house) - check out this Homeone users blog - http://carlisleodessa.blogspot.com.au/ - he has it for all the stages. zierra Hi, for anybody who are currently at build stage, when did you receive your final engineering drawings? My site cut is scheduled end of next week and to date, we are told the drawings will be sent to us end of next week (when site cut happens). Is that their standard business practice? It's so different compared to my previous building experience. It seems normal as we had about the same - I was pushing and questioning that too, seems they leave it to the last minute. Hi JasonVIC, I had checked the pricing of NHI. It seems like lots of Carlisle's clients are engaging them (reading through this trail). Hi February 12, are you saying your site cut is due to start next week? Hi Vectra 43, are you planning to engage NHI as well during your building process? Yep that's right..scheduled for this Thursday if weather permits it...so fingers crossed!!! Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4279Oct 20, 2013 7:16 pm Vetra43 Also Jason/ anybody here ... Can you please tell me if you have got 2 garden taps apart from what you get from the developer? When I signed with CH , the promotion includes 2 garden taps, but I realized that I only have one garden tap, and the other is at the front close to our future letter box. I thought this is given by developer? What's your experience? Hi Vetra, 2 Garden Taps are one in the front (depending on where the meter is) and one in the side of the house or rear Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4280Oct 20, 2013 7:23 pm Vetra43 Also Jason/ anybody here ...

I thought this is given by developer? What's your experience? Not sure if i'll answer correctly here to what your asking - We will have taps installed at the front (standard & recycled) from SE Water (somehow our lot, out of the whole estate didn't get it installed!). Still waiting for this to happen as the site is to cluttered for the plumber to do the work. Out the back (more so side close to garage) we will get two taps installed, they are along the side of the house and not in a useful spot at all from Carlisle, both a recycled and standard. We will have to engage our own plumber to get better located external taps. Is it possible the two external taps relates to recycled water and standard? It would be something to check in the documents & I believe taps are done at Carlisle discretion - was not a flexible area we found.
