It is important to have your selections signed and approved on the day, to avoid delays with lodgements and loan approvals However we appreciate that there are some big decisions to be made and there may be a time where you need to revise your quotes. 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. If by chance, you have a third change of heart, unfortunately this means that your selections will be further delayed processing all the necessary documentation, as well as delays to provide your final Contract price to your lending authority. Most importantly, a third selection change will incur and administration fee of $1000. The administration fee is due to the extra administration resourcing to reallocate your selections within the operating processes.

Yes, Of all the selections you need to make, bricks need to come first with an off-site visit to one of these showrooms, Austral Bricks - 738 - 780 Wallgrove Rd, Horsley Park or PGH Bricks - 75 Townson Road Schofields.

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. This service is complimentary and can be done on the weekend.

The timeframe for your applications to be lodged depends on several reports and documents. We generally require your external colour selections to be signed off to lodge Developer and Council applications, as these selections form part of their assessment. 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. 

Once you have finalised all your selections and quotes, your customer service consultant will prepare a Post Contract Variation to incorporate your upgrades and adjust the Provisional Allowances to a fixed cost where possible. At this time, your Customer Service Consultant will keep you up to date on the process of your applications.

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.

Depending on the timeframe for your Lifestyle appointment to be booked, we aim to work on the necessary reports while you work on your colour selections to ensure lodgement of any required applications can take place as soon as possible. Your Customer Service Consultant will keep you up to date on the progress of this. Once the application is lodged, assessment timeframes can vary.
