Yes. What I saw was show homes so they had all been done up as such quite effectively. But what amazed me was that they used iron window frames like what you can sometimes see in old buildings in the UK and they (new build show homes) were already rotting.

Also, I dont know if I got it wrong here but it was single brick. No cavity. That worried me a bit and I wasnt so happy on the brick quality either.......
