What are build consultants

Professional build consultants exist because they are fully independent and are not affiliated with the businesses they deal with. Their role is to understand you and your needs to recommend the best product or service independently.

Just like a Real Estate Agent that works for the Seller and not the Buyer, home builder sales people work for the Builder and not you. A home builder sales person’s role is to steer the client down the track of the builders preferred designs, construction techniques, timelines, specification, pricing structure and the builder’s expectations.

By working with My Build Sorted you are in a position to receive advice on the best builders for your project. Aside from the savings in time and money, you also gain the benefit of a superior level of experience and service, because My Build Sorted is on your side. Our role is to guide you and negotiate with the builders on your behalf. My Build Sorted works on your side, not the builders. We always represent your best interests.

Unlike standard building sales people, My Build Sorted is available during construction right through to key handover. If you have a technical query or need advice, we are always available. If there is a problem that cannot be fixed or a dispute, we know immediately who to turn to within the Senior Management of the building company selected to build your home. If things need to go further, we know and understand the process to instigate a building inspector’s report through to arbitration.

A building consultant must have a multitude of skills. Substantial experience and great communication are the absolute minimum standard. They must have a great relationship with their design and building contacts. Secondly, they must have a great eye for what makes up a great design, having the ability to add the clients design needs and wants while still maintaining budget is a balancing act for both parties. A building consultant may send a design back several times before sitting down and presenting it the first time to the client.

This ensures you have a quality design, perfect specification and the right builder selected before you make your final decision. Plus, you have the added benefit of an independent advocate watching every step of your building process.
