Was so busy with the work lately. Yes, we have been through to the tender and everything. Contract is getting signed in about 4hrs time . We did do lots of changes and that bumped the price to around 555k mark. Still they are missing few items in contract which we asked them to do but they forgot. Thats happening today before contract signing. I will keep you posted once we finalise everything today. So sorry again Re: Building Montpellier Grand with Carlisle Homes 12Aug 01, 2018 10:01 am libran_59 HoneyDee Hi Libran_59 How are you going with your build? Got your final pricing?

Did you get the contract signed by a solicitor? How many days in advance did they send the contract? Exciting times. Let me know what changes/upgrades you selected. Will give me an idea as to what we can go for. Your electrical plan helped a lot. We called our electrician and went through the plan & he marked evrything on the plan for us according to our need. Once again best of luck for today.

Its our first build and that too KDR. We are building in Ashwood Been reading all your threads and finding them very informative. We have so far had our Colour appointment on the 13th of Sept and have our Tender appointment on 3rd of Oct. We are finding that things aren't moving along as fast as anticipated (eg: we haven't yet received the paperwork from our Colour Appointment sent through - and today is a week since our appointment). Did you experience the same? We haven't yet seen our revised drawings either which shows the changes we have asked for. Some of the changes & upgrades we have asked for are: - Classique Facade - Sound Insulation between GF and 1st floor - Soundscreen Insulation to laundry, powder and WIP - Guest Master ILO Theatre with en-suite - Double glazing throughout - Electrical pack - Drop down panel to Island bench on both sides - Brivis Refrigerated heating & cooling - Larger windows in Living and Meals How long did it take for you to get your drawings? Would it be right before the Tender appointment?

Would it be right before the Tender appointment? Hi Krishnakdr, Welcome to the anxious world of new builders We got our paperwork emailed on the third day after the colour selection. It sure is unusual for you not to receive your paper work. You should call your CLE and ask why the delay? You need to go over your colour selection many times and make a long list of questions to ask at Tender appointment. That is when you can get changes made. some minor changes can be made at contract. After that it costs I think $500 for every change you request. Has your house been demolished and second soil survey done? Ours is not demolished yet. The process starts tomorrow. So we did not get the engineering drawings at contract even. At tender we got externals like site plan, demolition plan and elevations. At contract we got final copies of the above and internal plans. The engineering plans will come only after second soil test. I think mid floor insulation and refrigerated cooling are good ones to get. Did you not get the large picture windows in the living and meals as inclusion? It was part of the promotion when we paid the deposit. I will surely follow your build. Happy anxious times together.

Slab and frame went well and they finished the roof tiles yesterday. I have brickies starting today and electrical and plaster booked in for 20th and 23rd respectively. When I get time, I will have some pictures and will post it here. I did hire Dabrecca for our private inspections for slab frame lock up and final stages. They were pretty good. Did a brief report of what needs to be fixed and was done by Carlisle. SS is great too. Kee me informed every friday whats been happening.
