But - the bricks we've chosen have a mix of red, dark and white and are meant to be laid as an assortment so it doesn't look too dark. Looking through the pallets of bricks - it looks like the mix of bricks has hardly any white in them currently... And well. I guess you can guess whats happening - heres how it looks thus far: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I wish I could be more excited at this point but instead now I've got to complain and whinge to get the intended look. I'm not sure if its the brick suppliers fault or the brickies fault... looks like we need a bulk delivery of WHITE stat. We don't want them to knock the work down thus far - and we are happy to live with it as its on the side off the house.. we are just most worried about the front. Do you think we have right to whinge about this? I know they can't guarantee consistency of bricks but honestly - it doesn't even look like the same brick choice without the white ones....! rarrrrr.

And looks like too many with the black. I'd at least be asking the question, and quickly! Re: Building with Dale Alcock in Ashby - Brick Dramas SIGH 98Mar 13, 2014 6:04 pm Ha! I was just going to comment on how good it looks! But yes, if white bricks interspersed with these colours are the reason you selected this brick in the first place then you need to say something. Otherwise what was the point of making your selection? Hopefully they can add a bit more variation in, at least at the front of the house. Good luck!

Re: Building with Dale Alcock in Ashby - Brick Dramas SIGH 99Mar 13, 2014 9:03 pm Though on my drive home from school today I saw a house on joondalup drive (between wanneroo and pinjar rd) that has red brick with the black through it but without the white and actually looked good, thought of you when I saw it on my way home today Re: Building with Dale Alcock in Ashby - Brick Dramas SIGH 100Mar 13, 2014 9:18 pm That's quite bad. Even without the white they've not varied the bricks enough. We've just seen a DA house in Secret Harbour with exactly these brick (but they've got the white ones) and it looks complete different to yours. They need to stop straight away before it gets worse. Can understand you not wanting to knock down the already-laid part but it may look too different when they eventually start using the white ones? Thank you Pulse, I thought we did the right things; external shutters on all windows down all day, west side of the house nearly completely in the shadow of the large two… 6 25128 2 7945 This certainly doesn't look good. I would be engaging with an independent inspector to have a look at this. As for the unscheduled site visits, most builders are quite… 1 22097 |
