Weekend Activities

Well this is the first weekend in a while where I haven't been up late cleaning the house in preparation for an open for inspection, instead I am planning our activities for our new house.

Our task this weekend is to confirm our "Pre-Construction" materials which are
  • Bricks
  • Roof, Fascia & Gutters
  • Windows
  • Paint

We have decided on Boral "Nuvo" or "Escura" Victorian Blue Bricks


Our Roof Selection is a Monier Elebana Sambuca Tiles Our Fascia, Gutters & Downpipes will be Colorbond Monument


Our Windows will be Ultra Silver (no pics)

Exterior Paint will a mixture of Dulux "Surf Mist", "Shale Grey" & "Night Sky"


I have a few other questions about our concrete for the veranda & alfresco as well as the garage profile. I think I will want an upgrade there but it will depend on how much $$$

Here is a picture of our land, including our "Squatter" Trailer. I am thinking of claiming ownership very soon

    Hi, looked around but couldnt see if you'd mentioned it.Just wondering if you know how much extra the dark coloured bricks were compared to the standard cheap ones? Desperate to have them, but can barely move an inch with our budget!
    Thanks

    in the end with the builders markup cost $240 per thousand bricks extra.

    With your bricks find out what your standard is and then ask the manufacturer how much extra per 1000 compared to the standard ones offered.

    Rules of thumbs, single story house around 24 squares your looking at 7000 to 9000 bricks double story are always 10000 or more

    Good Luck
