They help to reinforce your choice. We were really happy with their guidance. It took less than an hour...but because we were already set on some colours. Otherwise we would have had to go back...

Which house are you planning to build? At the moment it's a heavily modified Caversham V2 (I think) - it's all getting blurry in the endless modifications I'm making. We have pretty specific requirements - only 3 bedrooms, office the size of a home theatre at the front of the house, home theatre, 3 car garage (to house all our motorcycles), kids bedrooms up the back so they can be zoned off, large alfresco. I'm indecisive at the best of times, so even starting to look at bricks and facades etc is killing me! Re: SJD Homes.

After living in beige everything houses for what seems an eternity, I'm adamant everything will be dark (or at least not beige). I'll agree to white ceilings, but that's it! I'm always interested to see what colour combos everyone comes up with. SJD Homes.

Who's built with them. 90Aug 03, 2016 5:34 pm See I don't actually mind that! That's not boring beige. Red Gum bricks are on my maybe list too. I really like the dark grey smooth bricks in one of the Austral ranges (which I can't remember the name of at the moment), but then grey reminds me of Bessa brick incinerators when I was a kid. Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 93Aug 04, 2016 7:54 am This is my issue - yesterday I wasn't keen on those bricks. Today I've woken up, looked at them again and gone "yeah they're actually pretty good". How I'm ever going to make a decision when it comes time for me to actually make one about colours... I have no idea! Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 94Aug 04, 2016 9:11 am snoof This is my issue - yesterday I wasn't keen on those bricks.
