Thanks Planet Express!
We did cut the grass yesterday.
How is everyone?

Planet Express, our building permit and final drawings took 3 weeks to be finalised and approved.
I wonder if we also need to mow the nature strip now if our construction…

Oh. So sorry to hear about this LMcNish. I hope the other builders of the other lots will clean up the mess so you can finally start.

Hi everyone!
Our site was already scraped! It will not be too long for the slab to be poured.
LMcnish, I thought it was your lot that already has a frame…

Anyone affected by the top soil recently added by Bisinella?
My builder will do a 2nd soil test and this led to 3 weeks delay on our build.
I'm okay with it…

Hi LMcNish! That's a quick site start for you. My land has just settled last Monday. Did you have to pay and process your own Asset Protection Permit? My builder…

How is everyone? Is there anyone with site start dates yet?

Hi CBPH,
Please pm me your brother's details. Will secure quotes once the build has started. Thanks!

Hi LMcnish,
Ours is $2,800 for the four outlet Opticomm package of Carlisle Homes. Three of these outlets have 4 outlets with 2 connections for TV/PayTV and 2 connections for telephone/data…

Thanks dazandstace! It's Dakota's kitchen that I fell in love with.

Thanks for the heads up LMcnish. I better ring my conveyancer first thing tomorrow. I've been itching all day to make the call but I set aside the excitement a…

Hi everyone!
We will build a Dakota with Carlisle Homes at Grand Lakes Stage 14. We are getting excited as titles will be ready soon, hopefully by Monday.
I look forward to…

For someone still waiting for the start of a build, this is a really positive thing to hear. I am wondering though why the water went in? What is the…

We'll build a Dakota 27 in Stage 14. Title is not yet ready though due to rains.

CBPH,
Looking at the cracks that you have, I would be very annoyed as well, actually I will already be in panic mode if that happens to us. Your build is…

We also signed yesterday, 26th! If your appointment is in the morning, it might be you that we saw at the reception area.
We are now waiting for our land to…

Thanks for your reply momofthree. I was thinking that they will put 24 weeks in the contract because in their website they are promoting a 20 week guaranteed build time.…

Question please. How long is the promised time of completion or duration in the contract of Carlisle to build from the commencement to the handover? I was just wondering why…

They still insisted that we can't bring our own! We are looking at getting their own contractor but its office is far from our building site. My husband is concerned…

We are in a bit of a dilemma and we don't know who is talking the best way to go and protecting our interest. We will be building a house…

Thanks!

Has anyone included a fully installed rainwater tank with Carlisle? How much did it cost and how much capacity does the tank have? We are thinking whether it is cost…

Good to know that you can bring in a sparky during construction. We were also told by our sales consultant that we can't.

Maybe the standard size for Affinity is 1000mm. With the T range, it's only 800mm. Good to hear that you are loving Grand Lakes. Sounds like a good choice.

Thanks heaps! Will wait for that.

Nice looking kitchen you have there. Did you extend the kitchen bench to the 1000mm and is your floor timber laminate or is it hardwood?
Fingers crossed, we will also build…

When and how will we know if we will get a double pass after sending our details through?

Crossing my fingers to get some tix! Sent my details through.

Good on you CBPH!

Will take note of this. Care to share where is the Boral factory outlet?
