Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 20, 2009 2:56 pm Hi All, I am upgrading my bricks to CAT6 which is going to cost me 3k extra. As I am going to render part of the facade, can i ask the builder to put CAT1 bricks to the render area which would save me a couple of hundreds? Any disadvantages of doing it this way?
