Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Bricks... 24Jun 26, 2008 1:20 am Matrix Who are you building with, monkey? Hi matrix, we are building with Ultimate homes (part of Peter Stannard group). It is part of the plus series homes, so we dont have much choice in a lot of things. I guess as a plus it does mean that we won't blow our budget with upgrades. We got a preliminary quote that was just under the base cost, as we took out the paving and what we added was less than the refund on paving. This will change with electricals and a couple of things I want added. Wont be much more than the base price though. kirribilli Hi Monkeyupatree, We have seen a few houses in our area with the burnished red and they look really nice, a lovely rich colour.

The colour and style was one of my top choices when I first started looking, so pleased that it was on their list when we got the prestart booklet. We went and grabbed sample tile from home base and now not sure what colour it really is In some light it looks like it is a dark grey almost black, then in other light it is a deep chocolate colour. Trying to figure out what coluor guttering we will put with it. I may change to black colourbond if I cant find a colour I like. kexkez the wyvern brick was the only brick, out of both midland and austral, that I really liked.
