Just reading through the standard inclusions listed from my builder and I noticed it says "Face bricks from extensive builders range"
Are these different...or is this just another way of saying "choice of colour"??
I've never seen it written this way before.
Thanks
Lorree
Yes, that's right. It just means you will be using bricks as opposed to covering them with render.
Thanks Southies....
You beat me before I edited it lol I thought what I had written before sounded a tad 'blonde' lol
I was hoping to render a part of the front, will this prevent me?

Sorry Eljay, I don't understand
For what it's worth here's my contribution...
Face bricks are all the bricks you will actually *see* versus those you would not such as 'commons' (often used in place of face bricks under render because they are cheaper).
In the days of Federation house building, R.O.K or 'run of kiln' bricks would be used on the *sides* of such houses whereas the front would be finished in face bricks.

Southies, sorry I'm not explaining myself properly. But I think Pixelated cleared my foggy brain.
When you said you will have bricks instead of render, I thought for a brief moment that with these type of bricks I couldn't have rendered...which I want.
But if they are not anything special I won't worry about it lol
Think I'll delete this one, its making me look blonder than I really am
You can render face bricks if you wish, you can render any type of brick actually.
I found these definitions for face brick on the web;
Brick made especially for exterior use with special consideration of color, texture and size, and used as a facing on a building.
A finished, non-defective brick yielding good appearance and construction quality.Your builder will use a different type of brick for walls you are going to render, but I think this is just a price issue, rather than any type of brick being more or less suited to rendering.
Thanks 16.SFC much appreciated
I'll talk to the builder about it when I'm next talking to him.
Thats clarified it a lot of me

Hey Kevin
Aren't they the best!
I'd be lost without one. My mum and I use to breed them about 15 years ago.
Once I get my house all set up and I can close off the tiled areas, I might have to look into starting up again

Have to aggree with you there.
They loved to rip our washing of the line for some reason...and steal lollies from my wifes handbag
But love them all the same
I've had my heart broken many times as they have passed on
This was our little man that recently passed on.. he had an enlarged heart
We called him "Teabag" or "Mr T" for short
He was a Griffon simular looking to our boxers we used to have
