How it works

From "could we fit one?" to keys in hand

We are the shortcut between you and the right licensed builder - free for homeowners, honest at every step. Here is the whole journey.

Tell us about your block

Thirty seconds in the form below: suburb, rough block size, and whether the flat is for family, rental or both. Prefer to talk it through first? Leave your number and we call you back.

We match you with a licensed builder

We pair your job with a licensed, insured builder who works in your part of Brisbane and builds at your budget level. You can verify their licence on the QBCC register - we encourage it.

Free site assessment

The builder walks the block: slope, access, services, easements, overlays and where the flat sits best. This is where a real number replaces internet guesses.

Design and fixed quote

You get a design proposal and an itemised quote. Compare it, question it, sleep on it. No deposit is asked of you at this stage and there is no obligation to continue.

Contract and approvals

Ready to go? You sign a compliant QLD building contract directly with the builder. They arrange the soil test, engineering and building approval through a private certifier - and any council requirements if your property needs them.

The build - around 12 to 18 weeks

Slab or sub-floor, frame, roof, lock-up, fit-off. The certifier inspects at mandatory stages. You get updates throughout, not silence.

Handover

Final certificate issued, keys handed over, warranties in your hand. Family moves in, or the flat goes to market - see our rental guide for getting it earning fast.

Where we fit, honestly: we are a matching and referral service, not a builder. Building work is carried out and warranted by the licensed builder you contract with. Our job is to make sure that builder is the right one for your block, your budget and your timeline - and it costs you nothing.
