Carlisle Homes Questions & Answers

I am building a house with carlisle in Affinity range. Got the brivis ducted heating inclusive in my plan. Will the thermostat controller for heating be changed to network controller like "Nest". If so what should be the procedure pls. Thanks.

I would like to get more details about the current "5% Builder Deposit" promotion. On Carlisle's website and initial quote it doesn't mention the complete promotion details. On the top of it when I asked the sales consultant multiple times I was advised of something completely different every single time.

1. Let's say if the quote total or final contract amount is 250K and I make $2k initial deposit. The 5% of 250k is $12500. Now $12500-$2000(initial deposit)=$10500.
$250K-$10500=$239500 Does it mean that I've to pay $239500 for the house?

2. The amount which is required at base stage, Is it the remaining 5% of 250K or 239500?

I'm waiting for your response.

Thanks!

I am considering the Sheraton Deluxe design, one thing i noticed is all WIR are through Ensuite bathroom. Anyone here built this design? Did it cause any inconvenience? Would you recommend to add additional door to the WIR and additional exhaust? Is there any option to change floorplan to be able to access WIRs for the bedrooms directly/ seperate instead of going through the bathroom?

It has been 6 months since we moved into our house and we still have outstanding issues from the water leak we had in our kitchen. Since the beginning of the year, Carlisle Homes had forgotten about their responsibility to check progress on these issues. We were out of kitchen for over 3 weeks from Nov-Dec 2020 and they didn’t reimbursed the whole meal allowance that was promised. Now the Construction Manager and his Manager is denying the conversation we had about it. Also not getting any updates on what they will do next and when they are planning to fix all other outstanding issues. Can someone please direct me on how to deal with these liars? Is there anyone here with the same experience as we did? Thanks

Hi Carlisle Team
Is it possible to to Rear Flip the Rothwell 29 ?

Hi,
What happens when you pay the $2000 deposit and then Carlisle decide they cannot build upon that block of land? If they’re pulling out of the contract surely it’s illegal to keep the $2000.

Q.1 Does the 2,000 $ deposit is included as part of my final build quote. For example, if my build quote is 450k then does that mean I have to bear the remaining 448K. ( 450-2 ). ?
Q.2 Do I get an Invoice of 2,000 $ deposit paid at booking? Can I include the same in my loan amount?
Q.3 As per any legal contact/policy we get a cooling-off period for any contract/purchase of service/product similarly if we had to back out within a cooling-off period do we get our 2,000$ refund?
Q.4 What if I don't want specific appliances provided by the developer and I want to add my own choice? does the developer allow to add back the credits for any other upgrade and does the developer charge any fitting/installation charges for the replacement?

Hi,

I would just like to ask if you build on a sloping block?
Ours has a fall of 2.0m.

How much need deposit for house and package?

Hi
we bought our house which was 8 months old built by Carlisle homes. After 1 year, cracks start to emerge. Carlisle homes fixed few cracks initially. After few months, new cracks start to merge and today its nearly after 1.5 years those cracks are getting bigger and worse. They give 7 year structural warranty so the inspector took 1 year to take level samples on every corner of the house and asked me to do concrete around the house ( which is ended up doing it ) and gave me list of things to be done outside the house to stop the movement. It looks like the inspector does not want to do fix the cracks and is making issues on the landscaping and other things and refuse to fix the cracks until the issues are not fixed by me. I have already spend $11,000 fixing the issues that they ask me. But still not he refuse to do the job.

Is it true that the owner has to wait outside while the 3 three months inspection after moving in is done. Why I ask is the easing of Covid Restrictions is now allowed not tightens. This is just a one to one inspection with masks on...

Hi,

I made product review for Carlisle Homes on the 4th of November. As a reward, you will be given a $100 E-gift Card. I never received this and reported it to my sale support many times. She said I should have received this the same week it was posted but only got an email notification 2 days later that Carlisle Management replied to my review. I have checked junk mails and deleted mails. How do I get this?

hi
we did virtual color selection during covid lockdown and when restrictions lift we went to showroom and did few changes in color selection. My consultant said that she will raised post variation contract document in which she can include the changes. I am worried that if that's right before signing contract. And is there any additional cost for that??

Hello, we are building a double story house and the electrical consultant didn’t allow us to put light point (purpose for feature light in the future) saying Carlisle doesn’t do it. Why can’t you put can you please explain it in detail? And we put 2 down light on the corner of the eaves in first floor but later on they removed it. Please explain it why please.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
We were browsing through Carlisle website and loved Dorchester 39 plan, but no display home available anywhere . Can you suggest a display home similar to Dorchester 39 or can we expect any new display for Dorchester soon?

Carlisle homes provide foam for complete first floor on exterior walls of T range homes but cant provide bricks veneer even at place with no articulation joint and even though preferred by a customer who are willing to pay extra money. On enquiry they say foam is good lighter than brick and better insulation. I agreed 100%. But If foam is such a good product compare to brick veneer then why it is not used in affinity homes in first floor exterior walls completely like it is used in T range. Henley provides foam at places where there is an articulation joint otherwise they use same material as used in ground floor as per the building standards.

Hi, we are considering Carlisle but are a little confused about the style systems. Can we buy a house that is in the ‘Easy living’ and upgrade elements to ‘Affinity’, for example? Clarity would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have got a qoute for Sorrento grand retreat. The quote includes a "fixed site cost" of $20,000. Will this site cost cover evrything after soil test and engineering drawing is done, or additional cost will be added due to variations in soil classification and engineering drawing.
Waiting for your answer at the earliest convenience.

Thank you
