Amazing home building experience

We built our house with Carlisle EasyLiving and our overall experience with them has been really great. The best part was that most home designs came with all the inclusions that you would normally require to live in a house, unlike other builders. The house was complete within 3 months, without compromising on the quality of the build. If I happen to build another house, I will not look for any other builder than Carlisle.

Positive experience with a reliable builder

Our experience with Carlisle is very positive so far. The moment we stepped into their display home, we knew it was the perfect house design for us, that was also within our budget. We are thankful for the team and support assigned to us - they're very patient in answering all our questions. Overall, the team from Carlisle delivers well and we are grateful that this experience has been very good and smooth for us.

Carlisle Homes redefined perfection!

From A to Z, Carlisle took care of things for me very well. I had complete peace of mind having them build my first home & I knew I was right! The colour selection process was smooth and the sales rep was very helpful and cheerful. I received a very high class build and after-build support was great too. I'd build with Carlisle again without a doubt!

Frequently asked questions

My family has a tight budget. What finance options are available to us?

Carlisle Homes believes that buying a new home is easily one of the most significant financial decisions you will ever make. As such, we believe in the importance of acquiring the right advice for your situation and offering that opportunity through our in-house construction finance specialists.

They are industry leaders in financial services and provide countless lending opportunities to new home buyers. These mortgage brokers have an unrivaled experience in the mortgage space and will help you save money on purchasing your new home.

Where can I stay up-to-date with my build as it's being constructed?

Carlisle Homes prioritises customer satisfaction above all else and has created a way for you to monitor the process of your new build step-by-step through our developed app: Carlisle Connect.

Carlisle Connect permits you access to various tools such as user guides, warranties and manuals, and you can even access your financial milestones through it! This way, you’re never left out of the loop.

How long does it take to build one of Carlisle Homes' houses for under $400k?

Generally, the average length for a new home build is between 7 and 10 months and consists of three phases: pre-site, construction, and warranty.

Pre-site is when you finalise your home design, sign contracts, and acquire loan approvals and permits (with Carlisle Homes’ assistance if you choose).

Then there’s the construction phase which lasts between 16-24 weeks. You can keep up to date with the building process through our online interactive app, Carlisle Connect. This phase ends with your new home’s keys in your hands.

Finally, the warranty phase begins. As you move into this next stage of home ownership, we put you in charge of the warranty process with the introduction of our new Home Care App. 

Our Home Care app enables you to raise any warranty requests you may have, at a time and place that suits you. Use your computer or your smart device to submit items with photos so we can guide you through the warranty process. 

There’s no need to make an appointment. No pressure to remember all your questions at once. Use the portal at any time you wish, from 14 days after handover of your new home.

What sort of inclusions does Carlisle Homes offer?

Our T-Range homes come with an extensive range of premium and luxury inclusions that can make your home uniquely yours. Inclusions enable growing families to customise their homes how they choose, splurge on European appliances, enjoy designer tapware, elegant kitchens, expansive island benches, and so much more.

What is Carlisle Homes' knockdown rebuild service?
