SPECTRA (Colour & Electrical Selection!)

Carlisle SPECTRA

Our long awaited appointment for colour selection had finally come up (We got in a, in a matter of weeks which was lucky - some spaces opened up!). We had already sketched up were we wanted extra electrical items / data points - knowing that we would need to specify these on the day.

The day started with many questions - as do many of our appointments to ensure we cover as many basis and aspects of the house as possible. We also got to see how the cabinetry for the kitchen would look like on paper (Display home was outdated). Carlisle is very good with answering the questions / patient while you ask many - which is great when you are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars with a builder - the same can't be said for many friends who have built with others.

Many of the questions we asked were focused on the rough costing of items / investigating what we can get done that is best done when the house is built (structural/easier prior to a built house). We viewed this as being very important - as we wanted to know what our total cost of the house would be looking like and what would be better to be done post build (Having Carlisle doing the job comes at a large premium).
