I think it depends if you're on the edge of the estate, from my research the outer 1 or 2 blocks are affected. Eg. We are the second house in…

So how's everyone's builds going? We had a walk through this week with our site supervisor and were told we could be moved in about 5 weeks away! And we've…

Where abouts is your block nmcl16? Why wouldn't they build on it? We're in Lara building the Addison, there's a couple going up near me (the Westwood and a double…

We have a h or h2 slab can't remember exactly. Lots of fill and clay in our area!

Just a question with the slab...ours got poured yesterday and looks great, only thing is it's really high (think this is normal). Does this mean after handover we have to…

Hi losichna+4
Is that your block on the other side with the carlisle sign? If so congrats! Hope things worked out okay with contract, heard you're dealing with steph too?

Wow so I can't believe how quickly things are going up in my street! Went past today and were all ready for a slab pour tomorrow, can't wait!

My partner spoke to our CLE yesterday, turns out it's going up Monday, slab Tuesday and frame Thursday! That means the slab (waffle pod h2) only has a day or…

Just wondering if anyone knows when temp fencing goes up? We have had our scrape and pipes done, ready for slab but no fencing?

Hi Pippa1987,
We're building in Stage 19, in Whistling Duck Drive. Building the Addison with Carlisle, hoping to start in a fortnight :)
Can't wait as there's apparently…

Congrats Pippa1987! Looks like we'll have similar builds- we signed contracts last month but only just gone through with the bank, had to wait for the asset protection permit etc.…

When is your land due to settle? They probably won't be able to provide approval yet as you won't officially own the land yet, hence they can't do a title…

Just a question - not even sure we'll be able to do this as we've just signed contracts...
Does anyone know what it would cost to get a WIR fitout from…

Well just got back from tender, was great! Prices were either on target or lower than expected, even with a H2 slab which we need for our slab. Also with…

According to the Bisinella website Stage 19 is released but I think it takes 2 weeks (ish) for it to properly settle, your conveyancer will know.
Then the fun can begin!

Yeah we obviously looked at Melton too, carlisle were the only builder we liked there. We were split between the addison and the westbury at warralily but the addison won…

Depends on how much you love the house plan, we love ours and haven't found any other builders we like. Carlisle are known to be expensive though, but have a…

Looks like we're neighbors, are you in Whistlibg Duck? We're lot 720, also building with Carlisle (Addison), what are you building?

Ok so soil tests came back yesterday, turns out we have a "p" site classification. Is this general for Grand Lakes, because of the flood plain? Just hoping our site…

Hi Lukebee,
So did you build in stage 17/18? We're in 19, just waiting to title.
Pippa, in regards to the caveat will that stop our. Builder building because the…

That's weird...he didn't try to push us or anything, maybe because our house is 26 sq.
What were you originally going to build?

May seem like a stupid question, but for those of you whose site costs were less than 20k, what size house roughly did you build? Just trying to think of…

Hey Pippa1987,
Spoke to someone from Bisinella, he wasn't sure why the crossover is on the wrong side, but apparently we're going to get a call later this week. If it…

What do you consider essential that's an upgrade? The only thing we really upgraded was the shower head but we allowed for it.
