- 24-hour redline audit: Get a simple PDF report showing every bad charge marked in bold red.
- 30-minute debrief call: Sit down on a 1-on-1 call with Brendan so he can walk you through every redline finding and answer your questions before you talk to your builder.
What we look for
These are our four main steps. We do all four on every quote.
-
Fair price checks
We check each line against what trades really cost in Melbourne today. If a price is too high, we mark it and show the fair price.
-
Missing work checks
We look for work the builder left out. Left-out work comes back later as a big extra bill. We find it before you sign.
-
Smart design fixes
Some parts are built bigger or fancier than they need to be. We show you a simpler way that costs less.
-
Good supplier contacts
After 30 years of building, we know who charges a fair price. If a trade costs too much, we can point you to someone better.
