Is double brick really the right choice for your project?
There's a reason that most of Australia has moved on from this type of build - and with brick supply across WA squeezed for months now, builders are quoting wait times that used to be unthinkable for a standard order.
Double brick is the traditional option, no doubt, but timber framing is increasingly becoming a stronger choice.
Lighter on the foundations, faster to build and easier to insulate well. Plumbing and electrical can be run far easier and quicker, and if you're after a change in future - well, it's much easier to move a wall, put in a new lighting plan or run pipes through a timber frame than cutting through brick.
Timber framing suits a wide range of styles without the mess and labour that comes with alternative methods, and doesn't mean any corners cut - a well-built timber frame just gets you to the finish line sooner.
A timber frame doesn't ask you to compromise. It just leaves more doors open, literally and otherwise.
