Project Management - For the Home Owner
Let us take the emotion and pressure that comes from building...
We are from the building industry, having been builders we know the decisions that need to be made along the journey. Let us deal with that, so you can enjoy the process.
Full Service or Your Choice
Every stage from tender to project handover — covered.
or we help all the way,
We help some of the way,
completely your choice.
You can select each service that will help you to suit your budget, or you can select the full inclusive service. Your build, your way...
Tender & Building Contract
Source and shortlist builders matched to your project
Prepare the tender package, documentation and drawings
Meet with the building contractors to ensure solid understanding
Receive, review and scrutinise tender quotations & specifications
Negotiate contract terms and strip out clauses that expose you
Fix as many costs as possible to minimise unwanted variations.
Ensure the building specification aligns with design, finishes and quality your home deserves
The building contract is as watertight and inclusive as we can make it, so both the building contractor and - the homeowner, have a smooth relationship throughout the construction process
Regular Site Meetings
We know your design, we know your building requirements
Our professionals pick up small issues before they become monumental errors
It is natural for you to be overwhelmed with excitement when on site, seeing your home transform, you should be excited
We are trained to pick up on the things you miss, this is what we do for a living, so let us have the difficult conversations with the building contractor and their representatives
Documentation and recording is key to the success of your build
We record and report on all key progress, early defects, and change requests and action all the items necessary to keep your build moving
Financial control comes from strong leadership, we are there for you, not the builder
Stage Claims & Payments
It is important to only pay for work completed. You don't want to be overpaying a stage of completion. We know your contract, and we know the milestone stages.
Payment claims have legislation that stipulates the way they are dealt with. We know the importance of with this, not just for legislation purposes, but to establish and maintain trust with your builder, afterall, they are building your home as a business, so they have financial commitments they need to meet as well as the milestones of your build.
We prepare the correspondence and reporting for you and your finance broker, to ensure the payments are being made when they are due.
Consultant Management
It is normal and unavoidable to stop change and challenges throughout your build
What is avoidable, is making errors in these choices
It is important to involve and advise the relevant professional person, responsible and accountable for key elements of your home
Consultants are engaged to ensure every element is carefully designed, so it is important that the design is executed throughout the build
We know the difference between a minor and a major change on site, and know how to manage that process with the relevant consultant
Reporting is generated, correspondence is clear, instructions are final
Construction Timeline
Project delays cost money
They cost the builder
They cost the sub contractors
And they cost you
We keep diary entries, obtain weekly reports from the builder, and check against contracted construction deadlines
Delays - when picked up early, can be assisted out of, to get back onto the critical path to meet deadlines
We are here to manage this process and mitigate risk, by enforcing accountability
Builder Management
It is important to keep a strong open relationship with your builder
This maintains high motivation from the builder and their team
Conversations are not always happy ones, we know when do have the difficult chats, and handle them the correct way
Trust is built on relationships
You don't have the time for this, your busy in your own profession
We ensure we build strong successful trust with our builder partners, to provide the happiest journey we can, for all stakeholders
Project Delivery & Handover
This stage is no less critical than the others
Don't let the excitement distract from ensuring the correct delivery process
This stage of the build is all too often rushed for various reasons
It is imperative that all project compliance, certification and all round works completion has been done so to Australian Standards, Building Codes and the highest of quality possible
We have a structured project handover and delivery procedure, to ensure all defective work is fixed before you move in
Once your in your home, it's time to enjoy it
Congratulations.....

Bring us in before you shortlist a single builder. The earlier we review your scope, the more financial risk we can eliminate before any contract is signed.
