A good builder isn’t there to just nod along and tell you everything will be fine.

Sometimes the most useful thing they can say is “that’s going to cost more than you think”, “we need to decide this now” or even “you don’t need to spend that money”.

Building comes with problems. That’s normal. What matters is how early they’re picked up, how clearly they’re explained and whether someone is thinking a few steps ahead.

A lot of the value in a good builder is actually in the stuff you never end up having to deal with.

Safe to say, he likes them curvy 🦛

We’re super proud of our newest apprentice, H A Y L E Y K E S B Y, for bringing these curves to life at our Burwood Road project.

With a solid background in joinery, Hayley made light work of these beauties. They add so much character to the space, softening the lines and naturally guiding you through the home.

Next up, the main area curves will be finished in a limewash paint, adding another layer of texture and interest. We can’t wait to see these beauties finished!

Curves or straight lines? We know where we stand.

This is a really horrible point to get to.

You’ve already spent a heap of money. The plans are done. Approvals are through. You’ve probably been talking about this house for a year or more.

Telling friends. Showing family.

Then the price comes back and it’s not even close.

So naturally, you think maybe another builder will come back cheaper.

Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don’t. Either way, if the design itself hasn’t been properly tested against the budget, you’re still left with the same problem.

We’ve seen people get to this point and genuinely think they need to scrap the whole thing.

Usually, that’s not where we’d start.

We’d want to know why it’s over budget first.

Because there’s a big difference between a house that needs a few smart changes and a house that needs to go back to square one.

If you’re sitting with plans right now wondering what the hell to do next, give us a call before you redraw them.

Spring has sprung — and so has this build.

We’ve well and truly broken the back of this one now, and it’s been every bit as rewarding as it has been challenging.

Building on the edge of an escarpment, on a tight and complex site, is certainly not for the faint-hearted. It’s taken careful planning, problem-solving and plenty of manoeuvring to get to this stage.

These are the projects we love — the ones that require experience, thought and a solid plan from day one.

Got a tricky site that needs the right team behind it? Reach out.
