I am excited to share my knowledge of the building and construction industry to provide a comprehensive assessment of your building tender/contract. My expert knowledge means I can tell you exactly what is missing from your tender or contract and what questions to ask so you know that there will be no surprise costs before you sign on the dotted line.
My comprehensive building tender health check (build contract review) will give you a solid foundation on which to start your building journey.
I will read through your build contract and advise which key items you need to look at. From extra engineering items ,soil removal and other hidden add-ons, my tender checks will give you insight into your contract, so you can make informed decisions about your build and the costs required to complete it. I will also provide questions you should ask your builder and my professional summary of the biggest items you need to consider when budgeting for your future home.
No matter how experienced you are with building new, understanding your building contract still poses some complexity. It’s not uncommon for new home clients to face unexpected costs that weren’t factored into their tender due to a lack of knowledge around what the terms mean and what the inclusions should be.
A tender health check (build contract review) gives you peace of mind, so that you are aware of any potential unexpected costs, can plan for these in your budget, or revisit your arrangement with your builder.
I have years of experience helping people, like you, to feel in control of your build from the initial discussions through to when the ground is broken and you receive the keys to your new home – without the stress.
My tender health checks are designed to uncover terms and exclusions that might disguise potential additional costs throughout your build. I will advise what items you may need to budget extra money for throughout the build as well as the questions you need to ask your builder.
My advice is independent and unbiased, giving you the tools and knowledge to negotiate your contract and understand exactly what you’re signing,
Are the BASIX requirements included in your price?
Do you know if your land has a Bushfire rating?
Do you know if your soil is Moderate or Highly Reactive?
Will you be charged for rock removal?

I can answer all of these questions, plus many more…
You could be looking at around $40,000 - $110,000 in additional costs.
Can you afford to put these on your credit card?
Will you qualify for a personal loan to cover these out of pocket expenses?
Offered free luxury upgrades for your new home build? Promised $50,000 cash back in your pocket?
But to be honest those upgrades aren't free at all. Those deals that seem too good to be true are indeed not real.
