They rectified the mentioned points as well as doing more than necessary because our independent inspector was pushing our SS. We are now at fixing stage. Thanks a lot MrsSummer, My next stage for inspection is Pre Plaster/Lock up. Can you please let me know what do you mean by 2 more pre plaster inspection? (did you pay extra for that?)

Thanks. Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 6994Apr 20, 2016 7:09 pm MrsSummer Kumar we had the same Defects!We did pay but we also had 2 more pre plaster inspection.

Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 6995Apr 22, 2016 1:05 am Hi! I am just wondering for those who upgraded to high ceiling of 2740, was it actually measuring exactly 2740 or lower? We upgraded to high ceiling of 2740 but when we measured it was only 2690? Thats 50 mm difference thats why i am not happy and we paid $5k. Thanks in advance!

I saw that they provide independent surveyor already.

I saw that they provide independent surveyor already. Regards, I really up to you and how comfortable you are with it. I think all the major builders has 'independent' inspector as part of the sell. However, you (the customer) will have no access to the report and no say to it. Some would say that it is an 'independent' inspection, some would say that it is just an 'outsourced' business function. Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 6999Apr 26, 2016 9:57 am Apparently Carlisle do use an independent inspector once their own people goes through. One of our guys from work gets called in from carlisle to actually check the quality etc and he says he usually picks up a lot of stuff their own supervisor miss. In saying that I would still get your own inspector as well for peace of mind. Whats an extra 2-$3k for houses that costs $300-500k to build?! Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

We've contacted CLE as suggested and they referred us back to sales for re-work on the quote and designs. They've been really professional with the changes and haven't complained a bit. There are other scenarios which might warrant a house design change at a later stage and they would normally accept that on a case by case basis it seems. Build prices on the other hand increased 5k between the time we signed up and changed our minds but we still get the Jan prices/promotion on t-range as indicated by the sales consultant. Thanks for your feedback ericaust23, pearz, mellily. 0 4982 We are at the stage on our build in Kilcoy, Queensland where we need to get our fencing installed but we cant get any contact details for our neighbours to give them… 0 6160 You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14105 |
