General information

Building your Dream Home?

Building your home is one of the single biggest investments you will make. Yet why is it that when we purchase any other product or service, we pay the quoted amount and normally get what we pay for?

The client is then left to find additional finance, to complete the project. At the very least, they have a fight with the builder on their hands, are over budget, and have a “shortfall” in their building bond, at worst, severely financially compromised.
