Brick veneer houses were designed for mass appeal and affordability. Though they are superficially identical to solid brick homes, there are key differences. 

In a veneer home, a single course of brick is attached to an internal structural support with metal ties. The walls of a solid brick house are usually two layers of brick. It’s not always easy to tell them apart. You may identify double brick houses by spotting the header bricks; in any row of bricks, you’ll notice one shorter end-face. Header bricks bind the two brick layers together. You can also tap your knuckles against the walls; a solid brick home has brick internal walls that won’t reverberate; brick veneer homes have internal plasterboard walls that will sound hollow when you tap them.

A double brick house is usually more durable than a veneer counterpart — but that’s not necessarily true these days. With modern brick construction and durable designs, Supa Group’s brick veneer house renovations and extensions are warranted for a decade and designed to last a lifetime. Of course, your foundations must be sound and kept free from moisture.

This will all depend on the size and scale of the renovation or extension that you're undertaking. If the basic amenities for living at home are unaffected — bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens — then you can remain at the property. However, if these are affected, you may have to vacate until they are usable once again.
