What you get
Four things to get right before anyone draws a plan.
-
Stop over-design early
Work with Brendan before drawing final plans so architects and engineers do not add costly, unnecessary steel or complex details to your build.
-
Real build costs
Know what commercial builds cost per square metre today so you do not waste money.
-
Land and site checks
Spot site access and power problems early before buying land or paying for drawn plans.
-
Easy step-by-step plan
Get a simple roadmap from concept to breaking ground with no bad surprises.
Get the numbers right first
Changing plans after they are drawn costs a lot. Changing your mind before costs almost nothing.
Many first-time builders get stuck at the start. They don't know if the land works, what the build should cost, or which builders to call. We help you go from an idea to a clear plan.
-
Big savings on heavy steel
Our plans called for heavy custom steel beams on the top floor. Brendan showed us how to use standard timber framing instead. Saved over six figures without changing the look.

Pre-plan help is Step 0. Once you have plans and a builder's price, the quote check makes sure the price is fair.
