Time to start packing.. Take some light globes with you when they have finished painting, so you can see if they have missed anything. Adrian B Re: Confused please help me to knowHow is Carlisle home builder? 40May 24, 2007 4:21 pm Hi Guys,
****** Long time reader, first time poster.****** Firstly want to say what a great forum this is & how helpful everyone is as well. All of your tips / ideas / comments have been fantastic & helped make my choices easier. We have finally decided, after sitting on our land for a couple of years, to build with Carlisle Homes. We have chosen to go with the 2 storey Bordeaux 40... http://www.carlislehomes.com.au/bordeaux.html Like you Matt, we are dealing with Warren in Cranbourne & I can't tell you how helpful he has been so far, from staying back late to answer our questions to taking pictures of his own house to help us with colours... If anyone has any doubts about building with Carlisle, come & see Warren & you'll see what I mean. Also the quality of their houses are next to none in our opinion. We have also made many changes such as bigger alfresco area, knocking the wall out between the study & formal lounge area (which was no charge, unlike Henly who wanted to charge an extra $450 to "remove" the wall), a half wall to the rumpus room just to name a few & none seem to be a problem. So far we have paid the $600 for the soil test, which I'm guessing is done with five holes on the block & gone thru the alterations that we want. Tomorrow we have our colour appointment, which snuck up on us & only gave us a weeks notice to pick all colours, fixtures & fittings. They gave us the option of extending the time to do it but I think we've got it all sussed . Constuction, they tell us, will start in August & finish the end of February. In no hurry so they can take as much time as they want (hope they're not reading this). All very exciting & looking forward to the whole process. Will try & keep you all updated on how it's fairing & hopefully get some more idea's of ppl here.. ie colours (Michelle ) flooring, electrical & heaps of other stuff that we can't decide on. Cheers, Mike. If this is a custom build then I would expect the builder to set out the door frame closer to the wall to avoid the gap between architrave and the wall and or specify… 9 8306 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 37139 Carlisle use to sneak a water resistant "Performance Solution" into their contracts.
