In all reality to get the look you wanted exactly your windows don't have enough distance above to the eave. A compromise would have to be made. Probably cost $150-200 a metre for a two step. You could install later. Not that hard. Would be easier to do now with the scaffold up. Thank you very much for your response. Appreciate it. Re: Facade Parapet Moulding 6Jun 30, 2023 4:45 pm Shoutout to Pulse and Ardo for their invaluable input in the home building forum! Thanks to their advice, I managed to connect with a moulding supplier and even found a third-party carpenter for installation. My builder's lack of guidance was no match for the community's support. You guys rock! 🙌 Re: Facade Parapet Moulding 8Jul 04, 2023 9:22 am Ardo A carpenter with experience could fabricate that Moulding using LOSP.

I always thought this must be difficult to install since builders charge so much for that style facade, but after googling it seems it's readily available at reasonable price. Why do builders charge so much for facade mouldings? Are they using something another material? Re: Facade Parapet Moulding 10Jul 05, 2023 10:18 am orionnebula Labour cost to install. Seems it's a chippy who can install. I'm building with Clarendon, they have a facade called the Riviera, which isn't overly decorative, but costs around $55k (not fully rendered front). Looking at material costs plus chippy labour, seems hard to believe anything near that is justifiable. Re: Facade Parapet Moulding 11Jul 05, 2023 11:01 am AJ1111 orionnebula Labour cost to install.

Looking at material costs plus chippy labour, seems hard to believe anything near that is justifiable. Agree, Riviera from Clarendon looks beautiful. I've seen one with a light-colored bricks and just a bit of molding (in my neighborhood). It's definitely overpriced. I'm also considering getting a plain classic facade (which usually has no cost) and adding molding later. I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 35588 Re my second point – yes exactly.
