At Mojo Homes, we’re big believers in building homes that go the distance — strong, stylish, and smart from the ground up. That’s why we offer options like both Hebel and brick in our designs. Whether you love the modern, clean lines of rendered Hebel or the timeless charm of traditional brick, we’ve got you covered.

Take a closer look at why these materials continue to be favourites with Aussie homeowners — and how each brings something special to the table.

Brick: A Classic That Stands the Test of Time

Brick has been a go-to in Australian home building for generations — and for good reason. It’s incredibly durable, fire-resistant, low-maintenance, and recyclable. Its natural thermal mass means it can help regulate your home’s internal temperature, and that classic brick façade? Always in style.

If you’re drawn to that heritage feel, love the texture of exposed brickwork, or just want a finish that ages gracefully, brick could be the perfect choice for your home.

Hebel: The Modern All-Rounder

On the other hand, Hebel is quickly becoming a front-runner in modern home design — and it’s easy to see why. Made from Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), Hebel panels are lightweight yet strong, with steel reinforcement for added durability.

  • But what really makes Hebel shine?
  • Thermal efficiency: Great for keeping your home comfortable year-round.
  • Sound insulation: Perfect for families and entertainers alike.
  • Fire and termite resistance: For that extra peace of mind.
  • Sleek rendered finish: Ideal for a modern façade without the price tag of traditional rendering.

At Mojo Homes, Hebel is included in most of our builds because it ticks so many boxes when it comes to performance, style, and cost-effectiveness.
