Carlisle should consider ditching A&L altogether! Henley has since moved onto Stegbar for all their window supplies. My company also had massive issues with A&L and too think they are supplying all the windows for 160+ apartments! Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Could not agree more about A&L. I actually asked today about the flyscreens. thank goodness they are going through Bulleen Screens for those... Yer bit disappointed about yesterday. I met SS on site a week earlier and he booked the pci then. but one week later and the only thing that got done was laminate flooring. This was a house thats meant to be getting ready for pci in one week. unacceptable in my book. but anyway, just yesterday alone there was 3x more work done than the previous 7 days. Carpet, paint and staining all done.

Carpet, paint and staining all done. We had the exact same thing happen, it seems they like to book in trades to finish the works in 1 day instead of doing the works before hand. One day before our PCI and everything that "seemed" broken was fixed and the site was level and cleared and the internals were actually cleaned! Amazing but it was so rushed that our first PCI was disappointing. Our second PCI the house looked so much better (the way first PCI should have looked)!!

I can imagine that you have paid close attention to every single detail for the journey of building your dream house. One great upgrade that attract me the most is extending your theatre room (lounge room) for another 0.5 meter into the living room. Is it possible to do that for Matisse 32sq and how much did it cost you to do that? And another question is did you choose to keep the door to WIP or remove it to have an open kitchen which look more spacious? And why did you choose to have a one big front entry door rather than 2 flush panel entry door? Thanks So still no slab and apparently the concreter cancelled. Here come the delays... apparently things haven't recovered quite as much as I thought. I've been told maybe next… 8 31889 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 38093 Carlisle use to sneak a water resistant "Performance Solution" into their contracts. Have you checked your contract for same? 4 10846 |
