A bag of off white cement is only about $2 more than std, no idea why they would not just cover costs but I guess its an easy way to make more profit Off White Mortar... 1.5K upgrade!! 8Nov 20, 2012 9:30 am Owner builder here so I know the cost. White brick sand was about $10 more per cubic metre. Brick cleaning was about $15 more per 1,000 bricks. So say that's $25 more per 1,000 bricks or 20sqm. Could be 10-40,000 bricks in a house Re: Off White Mortar... 1.5K upgrade!! 9Nov 20, 2012 9:53 am Even at 40,000 bricks that is $1,000 and that would be a pretty big house..... Re: Off White Mortar... 1.5K upgrade!! 10Nov 20, 2012 10:09 am very expensive to me, our builder EBH charged us $391 for the 42 double story. Re: Off White Mortar... 1.5K upgrade!! 12Nov 20, 2012 10:45 am Free in WA. Just profit making exercise on their part Re: Off White Mortar... 1.5K upgrade!! 13Nov 20, 2012 10:57 am Can the builder charge what ever they like for such an upgrade or is there a markup limit e.g. 30% based on material cost?? The only option we have is the standard natural mortar which would do injustice against the bricks... (That also came to a staggering 6K) Re: Off White Mortar... 1.5K upgrade!! 14Nov 20, 2012 11:47 am Tmv. For 30sq its too much. But to be honest there wont be much you can do if you want off white mortar. Because that's the price the builder allocated for that upgrade and i don't think its something that one person can change.

We saw a pricing sheet for upgrades to a comparative home we were intrested with and that's when I realised that we were being charged too much.. The Henley upgrade sheet had approx 400 for the off white mortar... Re: Off White Mortar... 1.5K upgrade!! 20Nov 20, 2012 3:55 pm Yes henley provide you with an upgrade price list on your color info session which has cost for your typical upgrades like bricks, mortar, tiles, roofs, flooring, benchtops, etc... and the mortar price increase is around $300-$400 at henley.. in fact most of their upgrades are quite reasonable compared other builders..
