My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

      We use a white mineral coating on our brick, that is then fired in our kiln.

      Brick Co - The brick here looks different to on your website. Is the mineral coating that you refer to used to achieve the savannah grey color or is an extra custom treatment to get this particular finish? Or is this brick just the regular savannah grey with a whitewash applied on site? Thanks!

      I suspect a type of whitewash was applied in this case, but I have no way of knowing for sure. Perhaps the architect might know.

      That's really helpful. Thanks. Would love to hear any comments from architect/designer if they are following this thread.
