Frequently asked questions

Will I be kept up to date with the build of my narrow block house design?

Yes! Carlisle Homes prioritises client transparency and wants you to have confidence throughout the build process. Therefore, we created Carlisle Connect, an interactive digital tool that places the entire construction process right at your fingertips. You can access practical user guides, view your financial milestones, and access warranties and manuals.

What happens if something in my new home needs fixing after finishing the build?

If you’ve noticed something needs touching up or repairing after you have moved in, contact Carlisle Homes. We always do our due diligence to ensure everything meets your expectations, but if there’s an issue, we will organise to repair any problems or complete any touch-ups you require. Reach out to us through the Home Care app at any time.

How much does it cost to purchase a narrow-block home?

The overall cost of our narrow house designs largely depends upon your specifications, space, customisation options, area, and more. Our 12 metre narrow house designs start from $268,900. For more detailed home pricing, take a look at our building cost calculators.

Can you fit a spacious home on a 12m narrow block frontage?

Yes, absolutely. Our expert designers specialise in creating homes that maximise space and functionality, even on narrower lots. You’ll find options for multiple bedrooms, generous living zones, and double garages. Let our team walk you through the practical advantages of single-storey living on a narrow lot.

What makes Carlisle Homes a trusted builder for narrow blocks?

With over 20 years of experience, award-winning designs and a commitment to quality, we specialise in creating beautiful, functional homes that make the most of every square metre. Our focus on innovative layouts and long-term liveability ensures each home suits your evolving needs.

Will council regulations affect my 12m frontage home design?

Council regulations and setbacks can affect the usable space on your block. We handle all planning assessments and ensure your design complies with local requirements. This means fewer delays and a smoother start to your building journey.
