Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 6298Oct 03, 2017 6:21 pm I am still surprised to see that M is charging extra for Hebel vs brick. Hebel is generally much cheaper on labor costs and costs less as material, only rendering adds up a little bit, so in the worst case scenario I would expect the costs to be the same. Re: Building with Metricon 6299Oct 03, 2017 7:43 pm SANDYFAN DRT Doulton777 We didn’t end up going with bricks in the end. But I was going to get Lonsdale. And that was in January this year. We ended up going with hebel as they had a promo for $3500 for whole house. I have always loved the whole house rendered look. I should add it was between Lonsdale and moon shadow. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Great. We also like the rendered look but was told brick to Hebel could be around $12k in upgrade costs. Haven't asked for an official quote so not sure how true that is. As i have seen there could be a big price difference in what sales consultant say versus what actually comes out in estimate. Thanks Are you in Melbourne I know this hebel offer is available to metro Melbourne and surrounding areas Yep we are in melbourne. Maybe ask them if they have the promo for hebel? Never hurts too try. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building with Metricon 6300Oct 03, 2017 8:44 pm alexp79 I am still surprised to see that M is charging extra for Hebel vs brick.

I got told hebel is more expensive material but cheaper labour that’s why they encourage people to go for hebel. Plus a shortage of brick layers. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
