Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 27, 2009 10:48 am Hey all!! Am new to this forum, only been looking a short while but I like what I see!! So helpful! My GF and I are building in SA, have just bought a block of land in 'The Boulevard' estate in SA! Seems nice there and there are lots of houses going up, hopefully ours will follow soon enough...! We are building with St@tesman Homes, and are building the 'Glenunga', a fairly basic floor plan that hopefully won't be too expensive, we are FHB's after all...! Has anyone here used the brick "Grange" from Austral Bricks?? We really like the colour but would like to see it in a house to confirm we like it...! Any pics or advice would be great! We are only in the early stages and have just signed the contracts etc, but will keep you advised of any progress!! Cheers guys and gals!

I know here in Melbourne they give you 3 bricks to take home (not to be put under your pillow at night), and also give you some addresses of nearby homes that have used those bricks. Could save you a lot of running around looking at the wrong brick. Hope all goes well with your build. Re: Austral "Grange" Brick 3Mar 27, 2009 12:01 pm Thanks for your response klscomps!! Have rang Austral bricks and they sent me a list of a number of homes that have used the Grange brick, so we will have to check those out shortly!! We are going away for the weekend so it will have to wait til next week!! Am curious to see how they will look, particularly as we are hoping to render some of the front in a cream/latte colour!
