Brick outer skin versus render

[Lincolnshire Ian]

Hi all

We are getting ever closer to finalising our timber frame design with Fleming Homes. As we enter the planning phase we will be asked what our building will be clad in. 

We live in Lincolnshire which is quite conservative in taste and so we probably want to either use render boards and render or build a brick outer skin. 

We would prefer brick, but we assume this could be much more expensive than render.

If anyone has crunched the numbers would would appreciate some advice. 

Thanks 

Ian
