Hi All
we are about to start on the exciting adventure that is Owner Builder....as if i am not grey enough already!
One of the most important decisions is obviously going to be method of construction. Im putting it out there to get all your fors and against for Double Brick vs Brick Veneer.
From my research I have found that Brick Veneer enables you to have more control over your energy rating with use of insulation and i did even read that it can be more sound in extreme weather conditions as opposed to solid brick construction...not to mention the cost difference.
My father has said to me.....brick veneer looks terrible (struggling to see this one) and double brick is just better. As has his bricklayer friend. To me that is not a sound argument.
Soooo, i am putting it out there. What do you think?
Thanks
Mel
