Make it yours

Changes the shape of the building, not what it is covered in.

Moves the eaves, the window proportions and the colours together.

What finishes the eaves.

A main wall colour and a darker accent. The bill is the same either way: paint is measured by area, not by colour.

Which part of the house takes the second colour.

Not offered, because the rate library holds no rate for them: clay or concrete roof tiles (covering per m2 of roof slope, and the heavier truss that carries them — a tile roof is not a sheet roof with a different skin); stone-coated steel tiles (covering per m2, laid on battens); machine-cut block walling (walling per m2 by block size, and its own foundation walling rate); aluminium or upvc windows (supply and fix per m2 of opening, by system).

Saving creates a full bill you can edit line by line.
