Just the Two of Us

Just the Two of Us

After 35+ years of marriage, two wonderful sons, living and working in Australia, Sweden, UK and USA we are now 'just the two of us' plus a very spoilt Shitzu.

Following five years at The Sandhurst Club it is time to downsize. Our criteria - build a new home in a development within ten minutes of John's Sandhurst Golf Club, access to Monash and Eastlink Freeways, all new infrastructure and proposed services, recycled water and no Management Company or Body Corporate Fees.

We invite you to view our journey as we build with Carlisle Homes our 'Savannah 28' at 'The Avenue at Casey', a masterplanned community meeting all our criteria.

HANDOVER - KEYS TO OUR SAVANNAH



Final Independent Inspection and Checklist Completion was at 3.00 p.m. together with our Site Supervisor and Carlisle Construction Manager.

'New Home Presentation' was excellent, painters in particular have done a fantastic job following rectification work.  Kevin from New Home Inspections was more than happy with the workmanship; adhering to Industry Standards and Tolerances.....as we were too.

A checklist tick of Kevin's Report and our PCI Sheet - noted some minor oversights and another brick clean in areas; we accepted a 'Letter of Undertaking' to be completed within 14 days.

'Thank You's and Congratulations', before we headed to Carlisle Homes Office for Final Payment and Handover.     



CLE met us - completed Handover paperwork and couldn't stop smiling as we drove to our 'new home'  mentally exhausted and elated clutching a folder containing Warranties, Certificates, 3 remote garage controls and a bundle of  keys. We reminisced - in under twelve months we have sold a home, purchased land, moved and built a new home; what a ride!

Appliances will be delivered tomorrow, heating/cooling commissioned Tuesday.
Now to move and make our house a home.

Thank You
Carlisle Homes, in particular our Site Supervisor 'G', Customer Liason Executive 'J' and Construction Manager 'S'. Even the last month due to rectification work and the slow, frustrating rescheduling of tradesmen they were at all times approachable and professional.  Carlisle constructed on time as per Contract our wonderful new home.
And
Kevin our Independent Inspector (New Home Inspections) for his expertise and advice during construction.
