Independent building guidance for homeowners

BuildSupport helps homeowners make better decisions before, during and after a building project. Get clear, practical advice when you need confidence, not confusion.

Building or renovating can quickly become overwhelming. Trades speak their own language, advice can be inconsistent and problems are difficult to foresee and mistakes are expensive. BuildSupport gives homeowners and owner builders access to independent building guidance so they can move forward with more clarity and confidence.

Whether you are planning a renovation, reviewing builder quotes, managing your own project or dealing with an issue during construction, BuildSupport is here to help you understand your options and advise you towards making better and more cost effective decisions.

When BuildSupport can help

You may benefit from our service if you are

  • Planning a renovation, extension, new build or owner-builder project and not sure where to start
  • Comparing quotes, budgets or scopes of work
  • Trying to understand technical construction issues, defects or unresolved problems
  • Looking for an experienced second opinion before committing to a decision
  • Dealing with problems during a project with your builder or trades and need practical direction
  • Wanting a clearer understanding of what questions to ask, what pathway to take and who may need to be involved

Independent support, explained simply

BuildSupport is not about taking over your building project or selling you a building contract. It is about helping you make informed decisions at the beginning of the process.

You get access to practical building advice from an experienced industry professional who understands how projects work on the ground and can help you see the risks, opportunities and next steps more clearly. Where specialist input is needed, Marco can also help point you in the right direction.
