“We always insist on full brick over alternative systems”
Tony Jabbour, construction manager of Buildform, is well aware of the benefits gained from building in full brick with Austral Bricks.
“By building in full brick the home has the added benefits of a sense of security, thermal and acoustic insulation and added longevity over lightweight construction methods,” explained Tony.
The latest project Buildform have just completed is a series of townhouses in Sydney’s inner-western suburb of Hurlstone Park. “We demolished an old industrial facility and created a subdivision of 18 Torrens Title homes”.
Internally Austral Bricks GP119 and GP76 common bricks were utilised and finished with a cement render. The façade of the townhouses use Bowral Dry Pressed Bricks in the colours Bowral Blue, Simmental Silver, Hereford Bronze, Bowral Brown and Limousin Gold.
“On this particular project we used a number of different face bricks to give the development a sense of individuality and uniqueness”, Tony add.
Tony went on to explain that, “Full brick homes offer a sense of security and solidness, many of our repeat clients will only invest in properties that are full brick – especially when they are intended to be used as a rental property.
“Full brick is an excellent selling point and offers a clear advantage over our competitors who tend to use lightweight construction techniques. Full brick is certainly a wise investment over alternative methods”.
Tony and his family have always lived in full brick homes, “That is why, when embarking on a construction project, we always insist on full brick over alternative systems.
“We would only ever build in full brick, and have always recommended this method not only to our friends, but also to people who ask for our advice”.
A manual detailing the eight advantages of full brick is available from Austral Bricks display centres. Homebuyers can also visit the full brick website www.fullbrick.com.au or phone 1800 670 235 for more information.
