We often have clients coming in showing us photos of houses they love, we thought it would be a handy idea to start sharing the colours some of our clients have previously used. Featured here was a 2 unit development to an existing home. #exteriorcolours #render #facadecolours #facade #unitdevelopment #colourselections #selections #brownhillhomes #ringwood #ringwoodbuilder #croydon https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DqxZ4l8ai/?igshid=m7j1pl6w3qq4

Feature Walls -
We are seeing and hearing a lot more about the use of “feature walls” throughout the industry. So off we went and had a discussion with our beautiful friends down at Haymes Paint.
Our rep quickly jumped in the car and came down with some amazing samples of their newest range the ‘Artisan Collection’, and boy did we fall in love.
So much so, we’ve decided to paint some walls in the new showroom in a few of the different finishes available.
Are you excited to see the new range? Will you be including a feature wall in your next build?
We will be writing a BLOG post covering the use of feature walls and providing some inspo. Head to our BLOG page on our website to keep up to date with new products, handy hints and all things building related.
Fun fact Friday 🔔 BOX GUTTERS - we love design here at Brownhill Homes; but there’s nothing we love more than, educating our clients on real costs. Did you know that on average a box gutter will cost $200+ per lm extra over the standard gutter and fascia 😮 yep that’s x3 more! So when designing it’s imperative to keep these items in mind so as to not over design for your budget. 💰 Time and time again we meet beautiful clients who have left their trust in architects/designers without their end budget in mind. Looking at building or in the middle of designing? Why not reach out and ask the question, can I afford this design? #buildwise #designwise #keepyourcostsinmind #boxgutterepidemic #gutters #housedesign #buildcost #architecture #brownhillhomes #roof #designvsbudget (at Mooroolbark, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Nl1j9lhnL/?igshid=1uy004pekl4uj

BUILDING GREAT FOUNDATIONS WITH YOUR BUILDER
Whether you’re building your first home or your 3rd development, building can be as intimidating as ever. A strong relationship with your builder will make the process far less nerve-wrecking.
Building companies have processes in place to make sure your home is built to the highest quality whilst ensuring overall productivity.
It’s important to recognise this and be patient while you’re building is working through your build. Remember your builder does this for a living, it’s not their first time – but it could be yours.
I always say there is no such thing as a silly question. So fire away! Question your builder to ensure you are both on the same page. We would rather you ask 100 questions and understand, than ask 1 and become frustrated.
So here’s a few points to build a great relationship with your builder:
1. Take notes!! – Write EVERYTHING down. It is important to make it clear up-front, not only will this be a great reference it will also save any unnecessary headaches, should they arise.
2. Study your contract - A written contract is vital if you are going to build a house, regardless of how much you are spending. It is a crucial document in settling any dispute with your building contractor. Essential requirements for home building contracts are set out in the Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995. To find out more about Building Contracts: https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing-and-accommodation/building-and-renovating/plan-and-manage-your-building-project/contracts
3. Be considerate and open with your building consultant - Your builder will introduce you to a dedicated contact person, who is ready to deal with any questions or concerns. They are the porthole to your build. Don’t forget the key there are no silly questions, only the ones not asked. Communication is key.
4. Know what colours you want – “How simple” you say? Consider this….. Choosing your new home’s colour scheme can take serious time. Time is money. So complete all your research well before your Colour Consultation. At the end of the day you are the one choosing, so you best do your homework.
5. Little goes along way – Your site is our workplace, so don’t forgot to praise good work if warranted. We take pride in our work and it’s nice to feel appreciated. If issues do arise be open and give the attitude you’d expect in return, we all know that one person who yells and screams (it’s never nice to deal with).
6. Don’t be a nosy neighbour – Try to stay out of the way of contractors. It’s inconvenient, unsafe and nobody likes being watched on the job. We always advise at the start of the job, to book an appointment to go onsite ahead, that way we can ensure someone is there and able to show you around.
7. Builders can do wonders when it comes to building however we cannot change the weather - Yes, it is frustrating when torrential rain starts on the day your slab is scheduled to be poured. But the simple fact is all building must stop in extreme wind or rain. If inclement weather delays your build, understand that every effort will be made, to make up that lost time.
Always remember there is no silly question, only the questions not asked.
Hidden costs when building..
Head over to our blog on the website now to read about the costs no one tells you before taking the plunge to build your dream home. https://brownhillhomes.com.au/blog/post/unknown-costs-when-building
Killer combo! It’s all in the details - concrete look tiles, black features and the softening of timber vanity 😍 Our luxury duplex down in Mornington looking absolutely stunning! (at Mornington, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0iHo9rFilE/?igshid=fkaxw76ntdqq
Fun Fact Friday 🔔 Open space levy - other wise known as Public open space contributions. This effects those who are developing 3 or more lots on a block. Council requires the developer pays 5% of the land value as open space contributions fees upon subdivision thus equating to a huge $50,000k on land valued at $1M!! 💰💰💰 BUT, there is a way to potentially save on this huge cost that many do not know, and what council may not tell you. Head over to our website later today to read on. Do you have any questions you would like answered when it comes to building? We love hearing from you.
