Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 16Sep 14, 2016 6:33 pm Actually, we gave Carlisle a 1k deposit but not once did our sales consultant asked or mentioned anything about writing a review. And also, spoke with our cleaner today and apparently she has heard a lot of good things about carlisle and to stay away from henley as she's from Queensland and they had it bad there. We really love the Aegean. And have decided last night to go with MainVue. But now we're second guessing ourselves again. Makes it harder really. ? really, i think it just comes down to luck. Like everything else in life. Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 17Sep 14, 2016 6:38 pm We are 75% aegian and 25% Sorrento. Just need to properly sit down and talk with mainvue to clarify our questions. Let us know if you have decided which one. And i researched your estate, looks pretty awesome. 4 sporting ovals! Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 18Sep 14, 2016 8:19 pm stayxtrue firsttime_homies1401 We're first time builders and I don't know what I would do without home one. The cost of a good quality inspector far outweighs the cost and headaches of a build that's cut corners and of a low quality. Chasing up the builder once they've got most of your money is next to impossible. We have a friend building with a volume builder and they have got so many problems from the slab to the brickwork. You're lucky you have a fair idea what to look out having gone through the roller coaster that is building. We keep looking at the Aegean 430 display at Keysborough and it is a fantastic home (hate to know the price of all the inclusions). Speaking to Carlisle and reading their reviews on product review. It's starting to make our decision really hard as we like the new promo they've got at the moment. The reason Carlisle has so many reviews is their staff get $500 bonus if they get their customers to post a good review. So you would find that they are mostly from someone saying they will give them something for writing these. Henley goes on their reputation over anything and have been building for a long time Also Henley do offer 50 year structural warranty and this is pretty good if you ask me. Agree with 50 year structural guarantee, one of the reasons we chose Henley. I tried to look at getting the maison 33 under Carlisle and was told I was over capitalising in Melton...maybe true but I was a genuine customer and was pretty much fobbed off. I am now building a double storey 47 square home, still in Melton. They lost a sale because of poor customer service. Henley has been very good approving all our structural changes value of $50k. I even turned up over an hour late, unintentional, to tender, and they carried on as if I wasn't late, very good service. So far very happy with Henley Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 19Sep 14, 2016 9:35 pm We're the first house that you see when you turn into the estate so no pressure in having a half decent house. Thats why we love the Aegean 230 as majority of the living areas face towards the footy oval and tennis courts. Re: Building an Aegean230 with Mainvue. 20Sep 14, 2016 9:40 pm Hi spice girl glad to hear that your experience with Henley is going well. What I liked about Mainvue was the quote was upfront no hidden prices for changes and they were flexible with minor changes not costing anything. I’m curious about how you went with this. We are planning a KDRB and considering Plantation Homes as a builder. I’m aware that after the demolition another soil test… 1 6328 i wouldn't be worried, you'll definitely miss something, no matter how many times you review. we've spent close to 5 months ensuring everything got reflected in the… 5 9457 Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess. Trying to get some more information from our builder. 9 11742 |
