COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you begin
Ask us directlyIdeally before the land is bought. The decisions that shape a budget are made early — orientation, siting, structure, access — and once drawings are finished they are expensive to unwind. An hour with us at the feasibility stage routinely saves six figures later.
Yes. We read the drawings as carefully as they were drawn. Where something genuinely cannot be built as detailed, we bring the architect into the decision rather than quietly substituting — nothing is value-engineered away without that conversation.
Open-book and itemised. You see every trade cost, every allowance, and where the contingency sits. It is a slower way to quote and a harder one to hide behind, which is precisely why we do it.
A small number, deliberately. Enough that a director is across your site personally and reachable throughout — not enough that you are handed to a rotating cast of managers. It is the reason we turn work away.
Melbourne's inner east, and a short drive beyond it. Staying close is not a limitation — it is how we are on site often enough for the details to actually land.
