North and West walls are 110mm bricks (+internal float n set) and 90mm stud, with blueboard cladding and acrylic render. Total thickness approx 222 mm. I'd say it may be hard to go thinner with the traditional materials. You may consider V or other sandwich panels, they've very high R value, but are expensive.

Chris Hi Chris, I have been following your thread very closely. I am pretty much copying what you have done, just with something different to bricks. I have even printed off your pics so the builder doesn't give the old 'what the' look. What do you mean by V or other sandwich panels? Do you have any links? I'm leaning towards 90mm solid blocks. My builder is old school and prefers the KISS simple principle. I think that with what I have in mind it will be a lot better performing than the majority of new builds anyway.

Chris Hi Chris, What do you mean by V or other sandwich panels? Do you have any links? Aaron I've seen something called SIP (?) panels at the Perth building expo. They're polysterene boards sandwiched beyween external layers of marine grade plywood. My friend's building from V-panels. I've link for neither handy. I've had a look at Energy-lite http://www.energylite.com.au/, but the price and the problem with council approval for the boundary wall made me go RBV.

Just how i like to do it...hope that helps. Cheers Tony. Re: Reverse 'something' veneer build Please give some input! 8Jan 28, 2011 7:35 am Good idea about posts,my verandra will be 1.6 from wall to gutter.I was told this let in winter sun and keeps out summer sun[off windows] any wider and you can lose light Re: Reverse 'something' veneer build Please give some input! 9Jan 28, 2011 9:50 am Hey Aza, Have you considered that with such a small house, the internal blade wall being of limestone will be sufficient thermal mass for the house, especially if connected to concrete slab? Then you only need to have insulated clad walls on exterior. Building tip No. 3: A raft slab will not get you down a river. A waffle pod slab does not go with maple syrup.

I am actually worried about having to much mass. Another consideration for me is noise and the 'feel' of the house. I like solid walls I have lived in places with 14" thick rammed earth walls and they 'feel' bullet proof. As far as noise goes, I can't stand barking dogs - even though I have two dogs of my own and do like dogs, I find no matter were you live, there is always someone who doesn't care for there animal and it will bark all the time. I actually sold a house for this reason previously. When speaking to the builder doing a house in hebal vs bricks is not that much different in cost. I will not do a total lightweight home as the sound deadening qualities are not good enough. I built a extension out of corrugated iron/sound screen batts/ 13mm sound check gyprock and one 4m*2.4m door/window frame with 6.38mmhush glass. It just didn't block out enough noise. I want to get it right this time. Thanks to everyone with there input so far. Aaron Re: Reverse 'something' veneer build Please give some input! 11Apr 17, 2011 4:38 pm Well the reverse brick veneer idea has been shot down. Mainly because of the price, as I wanted high ceiling and hard plastering it just became to expensive. I have now decided to with limestone with a limestone wall through the middle that will be sealed and exposed as a feature. Unfortunately I came in around 116sqm for the living area, I was aiming for 125. This means that I don't have a laundry and even in a cupboard as the plan shows it is not quite deep enough. So while I am struggling with that idea I thought I would post a picture for anyone who wants to have a look so far.

Post your plan on the custom designed floorplan thread. Lots of people look at that and can give you ideas. Building tip No. 3: A raft slab will not get you down a river.
