Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 22, 2019 5:20 pm Hi, Can someone help me please? Is it possible to change the colours of tiles in my facade during construction? I have talked to my builder and they said not possible due to several reason! Can i ask someone if they were able to change it and how? Thank you in advance! Re: Can i change colour of my facade during Construction? 2Aug 22, 2019 6:34 pm They probably already ordered the tiles. I’d think it would be possible to change however it’d more than likely be expensive to do so. Sounds like the builder can’t be bothered anyway. Good luck.

I was happy to bear the expense but they said like can not be changed as colour for external of home submitted to council and construction certificate is according to that. Not sure if they are telling me the truth or just Dnt want to help out. Thanks for your reply Re: Can i change colour of my facade during Construction? 4Aug 22, 2019 8:21 pm For what it’s worth, we didn’t select our external paint colours until a couple of months ago - and we got CC last year.

Thank you for your reply! I will talk to them again! Is your build via complying development or council approval? Facade colours are included in the documentation provided to council to get your building approval. Perhaps regardless of your willingness to pay a fee, they just can’t be bothered. If I were you, and I had to do it many time during my build, approach council yourself and take it into your own hands.... if you want it bad enough that is!

So can i contact these people directly? Thanks for your reply! Cheers Re: Can i change colour of my facade during Construction? 9Aug 23, 2019 3:11 pm Facade colour will depend on the local council. In my area when I was building, the council was very strict on colour choices, so if I wanted to change the colour after approval, the builders genuinely cannot do that for me without resubmitting etc. However other councils don't care much about facade colour and you can do what you want. I believe you can find this information in the land covenant document The good news is in my area at least the law says if I want to do minor modifications to my house below a certain $ amount I don't need approval. So one of my neighbours built with a council approved colour, and then within about 3 days of the house being completed, he repainted the whole thing himself if someone reports him he will probably get in trouble, but it's been 7 years and his house is still the same colour so I assume nobody snitched him out.
