Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Sep 19, 2011 5:09 pm I am new to this site and would like to know a bit about the pro's and cons of rendering. We are about to build a second Ip same builder as last time and they have just suggested we render the whole house to make it stand out from all the rest. Is this a good idea or not? Or is it just the way the builder cuts costs with the brickwork as it will not be seen. I would be very grateful for you opinion on this. They are also the developers and are nearing the end of the estate, I just dont want to end up with a mixed bunch of bricks if you know what I mean, even though they will be covered up. By the way it is a H-D site if that helps.
