Complex Sites
From small blocks and sloping land to acreage or flood-affected areas, our site consulting experience ensures your dream home is practical, compliant, and achievable.
Land advice before you buy

Before committing to land or finalising a design, it is important to understand how the site will impact your build and your budget.

We assist with:

  • Reviewing site information and estate guidelines

  • Discussing slope, flood overlays, access and orientation

  • Understanding how site conditions may affect design and costs

  • Identifying potential challenges early, before they become expensive

This service is ideal if you are considering different blocks or have concerns about whether a site is suitable for your plans.

 

House plans can look impressive on paper but may not always work well for your block or lifestyle.

How we help:

  • Assess how the home is positioned on the land

  • Understand natural light, sun orientation and ventilation

  • Identify layout issues or missed opportunities

  • Consider functionality, privacy and future resale

Good design is not just about the house itself, but how it works with the land it sits on.

Builder Quote Inclusions Review

Builder quotes and inclusions lists are rarely straightforward. Important details are often buried in allowances, exclusions and industry terminology.

We help you:

  • Understand what is truly included in the quoted price

  • Identify provisional sums and allowances that may change later

  • Compare quotes from different builders more accurately

  • Highlight missing or unclear items that could lead to variations

This service gives you clarity before committing financially, helping you avoid unexpected costs later.

When reviewing multiple tenders, the cheapest option is not always the best value.

We assist by:

  • Comparing tenders side by side

  • Explaining differences in scope, allowances and specifications

  • Highlighting risk areas and inconsistencies

  • Helping you prepare informed questions for your builder

Our goal is to help you choose a builder with confidence, based on understanding rather than guesswork.

We are not builders and we do not sell you a home. That means our advice is independent. We work for you, not the builder.
