The 10 factors know one wants you to know




The builder you choose can significantly impact the success of your project, its cost, timeline, and long-term satisfaction. With confusing inclusion- offerings and value propositions, it is no wonder Perth has many confused buyers. Understanding the Perth building: We have put together ten crucial factors you might not have considered making a difference when choosing a builder.


1. Quality of Work

  • Good Builder: Delivers high-quality construction with attention to detail, adherence to standards, and proper techniques. The work is durable, safe, and visually appealing.


  • Poor Builder: Often uses substandard materials, rushes through tasks, and lacks proper skills or experience, leading to poor craftsmanship, structural issues, or unsafe conditions.


2. Communication

  • Good Builder: Communicates, listens to your needs, and provides updates regularly. They’re transparent about challenges, timelines, and costs.

  • Poor Builder: Lacks clear communication, avoids answering questions, and may fail to inform you of changes or issues, leaving you in the dark.


3. Budget Management

  • Good Builder: Provides accurate and detailed quotes, respects your budget, and minimizes unexpected costs with thorough planning.

  • Poor Builder: May underestimate costs, overcharge for services, or hit you with hidden expenses due to poor planning or dishonesty.


4. Timeliness

  • Good Builder: Adheres to the agreed-upon schedule and proactively manages any delays to minimize disruptions.

  • Poor Builder: Frequently misses deadlines, leaves projects incomplete, or takes much longer than promised, causing frustration.


5. Professionalism

  • Poor Builder: Often struggles to handle unexpected problems, leading to delays, additional costs, or poorly executed solutions.


7. Reputation

  • Good Builder: Has positive reviews, testimonials, and referrals from past clients. They often have a strong track record of completed projects.

  • Poor Builder: May have poor or inconsistent reviews, unresolved complaints, or no verifiable history of successful work.


8. Long-Term Impact

  • Good Builder: Provides work that stands the test of time, requiring minimal maintenance or repairs.

  • Poor Builder: Likely delivers work that deteriorates quickly, requiring costly fixes or even complete reconstruction.


9. Sales Process

·       Poor Builder: Focuses on inclusions, special offers and fear tactics.


10. Advice
