Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 16, 2009 12:11 pm Hi guys, I know there are alot of you guys building with carlisle!! Good to see! We are looking to build the Riverton with Carlisle and just was wondering if there is anything in particular that we should be aware of or should be asking from those of you with experience with this builder? We love the home and the layout - everything and all the inclusions are great. (alot better than some of the others out there!!). We have hit a bit of a speed bump with the site costs ... has anyone else that is building here had that issue? Our land is flat with very little or no fill, and still the costs seem to be pretty big and we have been advised that we need a H class slab. Any thoughts? We are first home buyers so all of this is very new .... so the more help we get the better... lol Thanks!

They built at Sandhurst and after they moved in had some issues with a leaking pipe in their theatre room, which Carlisle promptly came and repaired and repaired the carpet with a minimum of fuss. Good luck with your build, hope all goes well!

Our land hasn't settled yet should be the end of this year so are just waiting for that to happen. There are quite a few in the middle of building with them so i am sure they comment but overall from this forum i have heard mostly positive feedback which is good and that also their standard range is very good. Good luck! Re: Everyone building w/ Carlisle Homes or building in Sandarra! 4Aug 26, 2009 7:00 pm Well everything seems to going well so far, the customer service has been great. Got our colour browse and selection in the next week which will be fun. Can't wait until the land is titled so we can start building! Feb seems so far away.... Oh well, before we know it, it'll be Christmas, new year, my brothers new baby (i'm becomming an aunt! ) and then the house!

Went down to Spectra this week for the colour browse and selection and it was great. We were down there for 4hrs, but I tell you - you need it!! We were pretty much set on most of what we wanted in the house as we decided to stay with most of the standard inclusions in the house. Carlisle's standard inclusions are as good as the upgrades with everyone else! The tiles and the colours in the bathrooms took ages to pick... we didn't have that much clue as to what we wanted - particularly for the ensuite! Finally settled on colours of grey, white and blues for the ensuite and natural colours in the laundry and bathroom (browns and whites). The girls at Spectra are great, and help alot with different options and made things alot easier for us. Definitely a great experience for anyone building with carlisle..... Now we're on to Tender in the next couple of weeks... we're almost at the contract signing!...lol Site Start - 20th July 2010 Slab Pour - 30th July 2010 Frame Start - 6th August 2010 Roof Tiles - 18th August 2010 Plaster Completed - 6th September 2010 Bricks - 3rd - 20th September 2010 Painting - 4th October 2010 Fitoff Begins - 21st October 2010 Re: Everyone building w/ Carlisle Homes or building in Sandarra! 10Sep 05, 2009 12:46 pm What colours did you end up choosing for your house?

Re: Everyone building w/ Carlisle Homes or building in Sandarra! 16Nov 02, 2009 7:59 am Salt&PepperMkII sanmark1, any progress in regards to the house?? Hi S&P, I wish there was progress on the house. Unfortunately we are now at the waiting stage for the block to be ready and titled. We have signed our contracts or the FHOG which is great, and now its all upto the developer to get our land done in time. Estimated start date of build should be the middle to late Feb - hopefully! Fingers crossed!

What road are you in, as I was down at today and most of the first lots of stages look pretty good to go ( for titles). I do know that with the price guarantee, you have until the end of Jan 2010, just in case there is a small delay in land title. Have you spoken to them? What have they said?
