Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Bricks - Builders Standard Range 12Jul 02, 2007 1:55 pm fojean Thanks for the replies all.... Looked at the Boral website....am wondering whether the Escura range is included..... pretty sure they're in not cat 1, maybe somewhere in the mid-range....cat 3 or 4....so maybe around $1500 to upgrade. Though it might be more for the Cremorne being a BIG house!! Built Porter Davis "Dromana" 2007. Re: Bricks - Builders Standard Range 13Jul 02, 2007 2:04 pm We didn't like any of the bricks in the standard range so we went and chose what we like and paid around $1000 to upgrade. I think it was well worth while.
Bricks are something that you simply cannot ever change in the future. Re: Bricks - Builders Standard Range 14Jul 02, 2007 2:13 pm We asked to have our bricks upgraded for free or we're going with another builder.

Thanks for the reply vanderlay....will clarify with the sales rep... another one...can two different types of bricks be chosen for contrast etc??? at a cost right??? ..rellie...which PD home are you building??? at some point you will get a hopetoun interiors brochure which has a list of all the categories for bricks, tiles, garage doors, paints etc..... Your sales person will be able to give you an exact cost for each category of brick. Which will probably depend on each house and how many bricks needed. Not sure if you could use two different bricks....don't see why not ...I do know they wont use double height bricks! Built Porter Davis "Dromana" 2007.

Love them but not the $6+ extra price Re: Bricks - Builders Standard Range 19Jul 02, 2007 5:19 pm mudtrilogy We ended up upgrading hugely with Henley - to Daniel Robertson Bricks. Love them but not the $6+ extra price still, worth it for something that is like 80% of the look of the house....if you didn't every time you drove up to the house you would think "i wish we had have got those nicer bricks!!"

I tend to agree... is there a way that I can approximate the bricks needed to build the Cremorne 41...been told that it is all brick except the rear 1st floor... What we have done in a few theatres ( including my own) is run 2 layers of 13mm gyprock, but sounds insulation especially for the bass is really tricky as a lot of that… 4 2674 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair to do it properly you need to dig out the garden and waterproof the outside of the wall.
