Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Choosing façade style and colour for bricks etc. 10Sep 06, 2015 3:36 pm That's a shame. My builder provided an interior designer, she couldn't show me what it would look like but was very helpful in suggesting colours that would work together. I also got a photo type picture of the facade to get a sort of idea. I would suggest now you have your colours, once you get an elevation drawing ask New Visuals (the link is in D@Ns post above) to do an elevation for you, then you can see how it looks and change it before you start building if you want. I've just put in my request Re: Choosing façade style and colour for bricks etc. 11Sep 07, 2015 12:44 pm montereyQ1 Hi everyone, We had our colour appointment at Henley this week. Wow -didn't realise how stressful and hard it would be. I thought the girls there were meant to be interior designers and be able to help us with different suggestions and how to match everything. When I asked "what would you suggest?" , all she said was "it's really a personal choice"... I thought we would be able to at least see on a computer how the façade would look like or be able to see photos what others have done and pick from that. It's really difficult to vision how it's going to look just by looking at tiny colour samples. They can't even provide addresses so you can drive by to look at different façades due to privacy of the owners. It's not like I would go and knock on their door! I'm really worried now that the colours we chose are going to look strange... They couldn't even show a picture of the façade style (Milton) just a drawn black and white one... and it's not on their website. I thought they would have had a computer program or app to be able to show you how it would look... Disappointing! Did your builder provide pictures or addresses to help choosing the façade and brick colour? Is there a thread on here where people post pics of their façade after it's built? We chose Boral Brown Terrain bricks with off white mortar, black roof tiles, monument for gutters, evening haze for fascia and surfmist for windows. What do you think? Same with the kitchen, they really need a 3D computer program so you can see what it will look like. IKEA even has a program like that... That was exactly our expectation too. I guess we can't expect much from a volume builder Re: Choosing façade style and colour for bricks etc. 12Sep 08, 2015 4:14 am Our color consultant at Henley was really helpful, offering a couple of selections to choose from if we were stuck for ideas. I think it must just depend who you get on the day. Perhaps you could go back for another casual visit & discuss your selections with another consultant.

But I still think they need more photos of different colour combinations so you can get a vision of what it will look like as it's something you can't change. I actually just found an online visualiser! Have a look at this: http://colorbond.autech.com.au/onlinevisualiser/ . You can select all the different colours for roof, gutters, fascia, garage door and the bricks. It was a great help! Re: Choosing façade style and colour for bricks etc. 14Sep 08, 2015 2:03 pm Carlisle has a visualiser on their website.. Try seeing if they have something similar to ypur facade and put your color choices there for contrast. Pretty much anyone can register i believe. I've used it and its pretty good! Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

I was going to suggest this too. Carlisle have a great visualiser. They may not have your exact facade but just choose something similar and, if nothing else, you can see how your colours will look together.
