Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build an EasyLiving home?
At Carlisle Homes, we strive to make the building process transparent and easy for our clients at every step. Typically, the entire process takes 7-10 months and involves three phases: pre-site, construction, and warranty.
During the pre-site phase, you can finalise your house plans and select the colour schemes that best suit your lifestyle. Our team will obtain the necessary loan approvals and permits, while you may need to sign some official documents.
The construction phase typically takes 16-24 weeks, and you can monitor its progress through Carlisle Connect. By the end of this phase, you will receive the keys to your new home.
During the warranty phase, we provide you with our Home Care app, allowing you to submit warranty requests at your convenience using your computer or smart device. You can also attach photos to your requests, and we will guide you through the entire process.
Where does Carlisle Homes build?
We build our range of EasyLiving homes across Melbourne and Geelong from Clyde North to Lara. Check out our build zone map and enter your postcode to see if we can build in your area.

Our EasyLiving homes range between $242,900 for a 16 square single storey home and $429,900 for a 37 square double storey home.
