Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build one of Carlisle Homes' narrow house designs in Melbourne?
It’s hard to give this question a precise answer, as our detailed home pricing varies depending on the inclusions you choose, your choice of fixtures, exact square footage, and more. Our narrow house designs start from $268,900. Carlisle Homes will explain what goes into this cost and answer any questions you may have at this stage to ensure you fully understand what you are paying for. For more information, check out our building cost calculators.
What sort of inclusions does Carlisle Homes offer?
Our Inspire and Affinity Collection 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 as they choose, splurge on European appliances, enjoy designer tapware, elegant kitchens, expansive island benches, and so much more.
Where does Carlisle Homes offer its narrow house plans?
Carlisle Homes can build homes in Geelong and Melbourne. Check out our build zone and input your postal code to determine your eligibility for our specialised services, such as our knockdown rebuild (limited to specific suburbs in the Melbourne area).
How long does building a double-storey home on a narrow block take?
While the average time to build a Carlisle Homes double-storey home ranges between 7 and 10 months, the actual length of time may vary depending on the inclusions you choose. Homes with generously sized bedrooms and extra requests may take longer due to their intricate features and additions. We can break down the process into three phases: pre-site, construction, and warranty.
Pre-site lasts 10-12 weeks. Carlisle Homes will help you acquire any necessary building permits during this time and finalise loan approvals.
Construction lasts between 16 and 24 weeks on average and can be monitored stage-by-stage through Carlisle Connect, which lets you follow the entire building journey.
As you move into this final stage of home ownership, we put you in charge of the warranty process.
Which range of narrow block house designs is best for my family?
It depends. Do you need more space? Three bedrooms, or four?
At Carlisle Homes, we have three main ranges for new home designs, including:
Affinity: Our luxury range is an increasingly common option for homeowners who want a property designed specifically for extravagant living.
Inspire: Designed to maximise space for growing families.
EasyLiving: Best suited for smaller blocks.
All our house designs for narrow blocks include a wide range of options. We are confident that you will find something you are sure to love within our diverse collection of over 100 floor plans.
