I'm mounting a 65" and 75" TV so I want it solid plus I'm a IT person and will be putting a 12RU rack in the garage for the Alarm, CCTV, NAS, WiFi Controller, Switch, NBN, UPS, etc. so I expect up to 50kgs in there and want more than two point of contact to secure so I felt it was $850 well spent ..... turns out my site manager would have played ball but doesn't matter, I can now put shelving, etc. up should I choose to Cheers, Chris. Re: Building a Carlisle Homes Radison 35 in Boronia (KDRB) 14Oct 05, 2017 7:59 pm That makes sense. It depends so much on the SS. I'm doing a KDRB at the moment and my SS is excellent. He's a chippy by trade and he's happy to put in extra noggins for me personally. I too am planning to mount 2 x 75" TVs back to back so I got them (as a favour) to stick in some additional beam timber instead of noggins for the bracket. Whereas I never saw my previous SS and getting him to cooperate would have been like getting blood out of a stone. If your SS is easy going (including with you going on site by yourself) you should think about putting in extra HDMI and network patch cables into the wall so you don't have to worry about ugly conduits down the track. Unless of course, your sparky is already doing this for you. Re: Building a Carlisle Homes Radison 35 in Boronia (KDRB) 15Oct 05, 2017 8:03 pm My SS is great and he has given me the OK to go in and run all the cables I want which is a sh1t load of CAT6, HDMI, audio, etc. for all sorts of things. Are you doing a KDRB with Carlisle Homes? Re: Building a Carlisle Homes Radison 35 in Boronia (KDRB) 16Oct 23, 2017 9:10 am MrCJ Hi Harpreet, My build came in to $399k in the end, additional to the base price and site costs which was about $62k I added/ did the following:
Additional to this I had to allow:
There is about $30k of other stuff like another shed out the back, home network, lights, washing line and so on plus I've allowed $20k for a full outdoor kitchen. I hope this helps. Cheers, Chris. Hey Chris, So we proceeded a little with our process and after actually looking at the display of Radison (Craigeburn), we think we might be okay with the 33 Sq version of it.. as we would rather have a little bigger garden at the back. (land is just 630). This gives us a tad bit smaller rear bedrooms and living area... I got a high level quote from Carlisle yesterday, but am not sure at what stage you actually ask for a discount or ask them to throw in stuff.. Is it now or just before I sign the contract after going through the color selection process and all? Thanks again for the help! Re: Building a Carlisle Homes Radison 35 in Boronia (KDRB) 17Oct 23, 2017 10:31 am Hello! We have a large block that's 21m x 50m so space wasn't an issue thus going to 35sqm and making the garage a bit wider ... we side have 1.8m down the dead side and 3.1m down the garage so plenty of room. With regards to the cost you will need to screw down the price with the Sales person as once you have signed up you will have very little room to negotiate with your CLE or Client Liaison Executive and contract time is post Tender so no chance at all. If you like PM or post here, me you quote and I'll give you some ideas/ tips on what to look at. Once you get to Tender stage you can question/ challenge a lot of things but some you just have to suck eggs on I'm afraid. Cheers, Chris.

Your best bet might be to go visit the display homes and walk around in them, and take photos. Get a feel for it in person instead of deciding from the floor plan.
