It is well worth engaging your builder as a consultant at the design stage.
Architects and designers come up with some great designs, but only your builder knows what it is going to cost.
Don’t rely on your architect or designers cost estimate, as all too often the design does not match the clients budget.
Don’t spend thousands of dollars on designs and Da approvals only to find the build is not what you wish to spend.
