For 48 sq house it would be around 20,000 bricks. Did you check Daniel Robertson hawthorn or Cambridge blends bricks? They look pretty a awesome too but not sure if PD builds with Daniel Robertson bricks. IMO , 8k extra for 1 side of brick is a bit too dear Unfortunatly, pd only use astral brick I think 24 Oct 2013 833 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 284Nov 11, 2013 8:39 pm mirz Scott2233We are building Waldorf 48, anyone know the cost of upgrade to marble island benchtop ( from essastone) ? Thanks I don't think PD gives you option to marble benchtop upgrade. It would be cheaper to take credit back and organize through a stone mason post handover. Thanks for the advise, I might do so 24 Oct 2013 833 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 286Nov 11, 2013 8:43 pm  meowsyyep, as mirz said brick upgrades can get really pricey. When we looked at cat 5 bricks, for our 23 sq house it was going to be over $5000, mind you this was when they used Boral.... it may be different pricing for Austral... Thanks, it will cost us 10k extra to go Hyde park with slim hawksburn in front instead of sterling facade ( Hebel full render)  Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 287Nov 11, 2013 9:23 pm Scott2233Thanks, it will cost us 10k extra to go Hyde park with slim hawksburn in front instead of sterling facade ( Hebel full render) if its $10k facade upgrade to Hyde Park including hawksburn category 5 bricks, sounds reasonable. hope its not 10k just for bricks? 24 Oct 2013 833 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 288Nov 11, 2013 10:09 pm mirz Scott2233Thanks, it will cost us 10k extra to go Hyde park with slim hawksburn in front instead of sterling facade ( Hebel full render) if its $10k facade upgrade to Hyde Park including hawksburn category 5 bricks, sounds reasonable. hope its not 10k just for bricks? No , the hyde park total I think is extra 26k, 12k for facade, 14 k for brick. We are comparing with sterling facade + Hebel , which is 16k in total (10+ 6), so basically 10 k difference between this 2 facade choices 24 Oct 2013 833 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 290Nov 12, 2013 9:38 pm Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 292Nov 12, 2013 9:55 pm That's terrible, lol. I wasn't into bricks initially and thought why people wasting a much on bricks upgrades. Now after searching and looking at nice bricks, can feel their pain  Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 294Nov 13, 2013 6:37 pm Doh, need to bring my taste down then, lol. Builder's markup on bricks is just way too high  Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 297Nov 14, 2013 3:23 pm I know bolero cost $10k for the house not sure if this will be the same or bit more. One thing is sure, if you love the look of this then it will be $10k extra, lol. (Based on my experience so far). Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 298Nov 14, 2013 3:52 pm Scott, that isnt timber, it's actually laminate. We upgraded to timber on a 24 sq house, it was around 13 k 2 Our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64705 24 Oct 2013 833 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 299Nov 14, 2013 9:48 pm meowsyScott, that isnt timber, it's actually laminate. We upgraded to timber on a 24 sq house, it was around 13 k 2 Hi Meowsy, u mean u upgraded to prefinished engineered floating floor, right? Or to the raw timber plank which need be layed/sand/polish/oiled? As I know , the real solid timber floor - later option will be around 130/Sqm We got a 1 year old who likes smashing floor. So do not mind laminate. the atesan range looks / feel really like real timber but without any maintainence required for real timber. Also we like the 190mm wide board , it could be better if it is longer so less joints. 24 Oct 2013 833 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 300Nov 14, 2013 9:52 pm mirzI know bolero cost $10k for the house not sure if this will be the same or bit more.

(Based on my experience so far). we know Arteson range is more expensive than Bolero, if PD charge $50/Sqm Or less will sound attractive to us  Thank you for your response Simeon.
