However, our Lifestyle Studio selection process allows for two rounds of amendments before committing to your selections and signing the documentation.

The reason we allow for only two rounds is to ensure, we can together, continue progressing with minimal delays to your home build journey.

It is crucial that you visit our brick suppliers prior to your Lifestyle Studio appointments unless you have a fully rendered or cladded home. You will need to make a visit to one or preferably both brickyards to view the range of bricks that Clarendon have approved (insert links to the Clarendon brick brochures for both brick companies) to make your selection. As bricks are a natural material and having variations and slight imperfections, you need to view the bricks on large format o get a good picture of how it will look on your home. Unfortunately, we do not have full walls of bricks in our Lifestyle Studio to view them in their best form which is why you need to visit the brickyards.

Both brick companies offer complimentary 1-hour external colour consultations where their highly skilled and professional colour consultants can help you select your brick along with helping you put together all other external colours to compliment your chosen brick including and not limited to roof, gutter, fascia, window, and paint colours.

How long after I sign off my Lifestyle Studio selections, does it take for plans to be updated and submitted to Council or CDC?

The timeframe for your applications to be lodged depends on several reports and documents.

Once your external quote is signed, we will arrange for the drawings to be updated to reflect any changes in preparation for lodgement. Your Customer Service Consultant will keep you up to date on the timeframes depending on the other reports being worked on at the time you are working through colours. 

What happens after I sign off my Lifestyle Studio selections?

At this time, your Customer Service Consultant will keep you up to date on the process of your applications.

What happens if I have a change of mind after I sign off?

Once your quotes have been signed off, we prefer to avoid making changes for less risk of errors and additional paperwork. Administration fees apply if changes are agreed to after signing off.

How long will Lodgement take?

We will work on the documentation required to lodge your applications once your Contract is signed.
