We were initially shocked when we were told the Trend facades upgrade didn't include any of the rendering nor tiling to the feature columns that were on display. A quick glance at their pricing (double to triple the facades upgrade cost) meant we were going to have to settle for plain old bricks.

| Colour Scheme |
This is the colour scheme we are aiming to achieve (in case you're wondering, yes that's a power station). After weeks of visiting the three brick suppliers (PGH, Boral and Austral) we think we have found the exact bricks used.

| Symmetry Portland |

| Dried Pressed Bowral Blue |
Both were from Austral and were not included in Rawson standard range of bricks. Bowral Blue upgrade cost was quite substantial (just as much as what the initial render or tiling to the feature column was going to cost) so we decided to limit the use of this brick to just the three pillars to the front of the house. This made the cost of the brick upgrade a bit more acceptable.
For roof tiles, we went with Monier Traditional Profile in Barramundi. This was not in Rawson standard range but luckily it was included in the supplier bonus we received. For the gutters and downpipes, I originally wanted to have the colour Ironstone from Colorbond. However, to match this colour for the windows and sliding doors by Stegbar was an additional cost. The only colour Stegbar had that would match Colorbond in the same tone was Woodland Grey. But I didn't like the green tint that was quite noticeable, so we went with Colorbond Monument and Stegbar Custom Black instead.

| Front Elevation |
The garage door was an upgrade to Timber Coat Cedar to match the rest of the features. As for the rear, we chose the Colorbond Dune for the easylap cladding. At first the rain water tank and rear garage door were going to be Colorbond Monument, but then everything looked a little dark. So we lighten it up by switching these to Colorbond Dune to match the easylap cladding.

| Rear Elevation |
Hopefully it turns out similar to the power plant (we really like that colour scheme).
