After you sign your contract with Clarendon Homes, our Lifestyle Studio Co-ordinator will get in touch with you to book in your Colour Selections appointments.

Appointments are available Monday to Friday 8:300am to 5:00pm and will take up to three full days.

Prior to your appointment, you will recieve a specification brochure relevant to the house type that you chose (Essential or Sapphire). These brochures are also available to download below. We have designed these brochures to cover off the standard items in the specific specification and are to be used in conjunction with your promotional brochure, if relevant at the time.

Your brick selection will occur before your Lifestyle Studio appointment. For Sapphire customer, the selection of your bricks happens at either the Austral or PGH brick showrooms. All brickwork from your home must be selected from the same supplier, including feature brickwork. There is a wide range of bricks available that are included in your contract, although you are most welcome to upgrade to a different brick if you like.

Essential customers will have a pre selected brick as part of your chosen colour scheme. There is additionally 2 upgrade bricks you can select from. Whilst you won't make your selections at the brickyard, you are welcome to contact with Austral or PGH to visit the bricks in person.

There are a lot of fixtures, finishings and fittings to choose from! This is where you start to turn your house into a home. Our professional Lifestyle Studio Consultants will be on hand to help you with innovative ideas and bring your design vision to life.
