Marcus's Beachside New Build
Glenelg, SA
The Challenge
Marcus had secured a prime beachside block in Glenelg and engaged an architect to design his dream coastal home. With a $1.2 million construction budget, he needed confidence that the build would stay on track financially.
Having heard stories of budget blowouts on similar projects, Marcus wanted independent oversight throughout the build process to protect his investment and ensure quality wasn't compromised.
The Betterbuild Solution
We started with comprehensive budget planning, validating the architect's design against current construction costs and identifying potential cost pressures before they became problems.
Throughout the 14-month build, our Build Advisor service provided regular site inspections and progress reports. Our Build Control service ensured every progress claim was verified against actual work completed before payment.
The Result
Marcus's stunning coastal home was completed on budget at $1.2 million. Our early identification of two potential variations saved $47,000 by addressing issues before they escalated.
The independent oversight gave Marcus confidence throughout the build, and the finished home exceeded his expectations in both quality and design execution.
"Building a $1.2M home is stressful enough without worrying about budget blowouts. Betterbuild's oversight meant I could focus on the exciting parts while they handled the financial vigilance."
