We have had years of experience in helping couples to overcome the difficulties and problems that they have encountered when they have attempted to build their new home, extension or renovation. There are numerous snares and pitfalls that cause stress and excessive cost for this major life investment.
Be sure you don't make these FATAL mistakes:
DON'T sign up with a builder who 'quoted' on the cost of your new home or extension without plans. It's an estimate, not a quote.
DON'T get halfway through the design stage then discover you need a planning permit and thus a major design change.
DON'T obtain low quotes from builders because you haven't allowed for everything then during construction get hit with variations that add 10-25% to your cost.
DON'T jeopardise your new home or extension by getting quotes from builders with a history of complaints, bankruptcy, insurance problems and no references.
DON'T sign a domestic building contract without understanding the legal implications and how to compare builder's quotes for different inclusions and exclusions.
DON'T use the builder's building surveyor because they 'know one another'. The building surveyor is working for you.
DON'T pay your builder for sub-standard work or before a contractual stage of construction is completed.
