Our Home is near completion. It's a knock down & rebuild. The smaller house at the back is the granny flat.
From the beginning we have already noticed that the bricks seems darker under the drop edge beam. Our site manager told us that there are moisture in it and it will dry up (eventually). We didn't question much because we are not an expert and because it was also winter so we though maybe it does take longer to dry up therefore we assume what he was telling us was the truth.
Up until now (6 months later), we can see that there are still 2 tones on the brick.
We had a meeting on 14/11/18 on our site with clarendon's area manager and our site manager and Austral sales rep.
They all agreed that there are moisture in the bricks because of the drop edge beam, that's why our brick is like this.
We did questioned Austral sales rep whether they are from the same batch, he said they are definately from the same batch and they are the same colour but, we really doubt this.
To our dissappoinment Our site manager and area manager from Clarendon also agrees that moisture has cause this problem and that they can not do anything about this and will not do anything as well.
We are so stressed at moment as we feel like Claredon ( our home builder ) is not helping us at all.
Much to our disappointment do we have to accept what we have been told by these two big companies?
Does anyone know what is happening here and is it correct what we have been told?
We have been during around looking at new built houses and haven't notice anything like ours.
We have also visit Austral brick display centre both in Horsley Park and Punchbowl and have been told by their customer service consultant that even if there's moisture in the brick it will not that much of a difference in colour.
