Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 10, 2009 6:24 am We are building our first home, can anyone tell me approximately how much you pay per square metre for a carpenter to build frame and install insulation in Sydney? I have no idea of the cost of brick veneer versus double brick Re: Cost of Brick Veneer versus Double Brick? 2Nov 10, 2009 6:55 am it will depend on the amount of brick you require as well as on it's quality. The price difference could be quite a few $ per brick. This should be a good starting point: http://www.boral.com.au/brick_calculato ... ckinsights ... built a Promenade with Clarendon. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=25104 20-10-09 - excavation and piering completed ... 12-04-10 - Basins fixed.

Re: Cost of Brick Veneer versus Double Brick? 3Nov 10, 2009 11:41 am From what I can gather, it doesn't cost much more to go from brick veneer to full brick. But for price comparison, you must stop right there. However, usually once you have full brick this is followed up with a suspended concrete slab. Very nice, but also expensive.

Is that with a suspended concrete slab? No suspended concrete slab. It was just preliminary quotes to see if the duplex my arhitect was drawing up was't going to cost us over 800k. Went over 800k with double brick. DA approved Waiting on a few more Builder's quotes.

Went over 800k with double brick. It was the suspended concrete slab that put you over budget. Double brick with the same floor as a brick veneer would be a lot cheaper.
