If that be the case, is it an upgrade and extra cost or is just standard for Simonds? Bricks for the second/upper level is 100% standard, our facade also has some cladding at the front and on the rear (for design guideline requirements which was switched for no added cost). Simonds standard is bricks except for the facade. Re: Simonds Harcrest - SA Build - LOCK UP 80Oct 20, 2017 9:40 pm LOCK UP a week away!

However the entire external minus the garage tiling has been done so a bit concerning, we'll see how it all goes.
