Avoid Costly Building Mistakes. Speak with the Expert Who Knows Where They Happen.

David Wall has spent over 25 years in the building industry helping homeowners avoid the expensive, frustrating missteps that come with custom builds and major renovations.

He’s not a builder. He’s not an architect. He’s an independent consultant who knows how to spot red flags early, before they cost you tens of thousands or waste months of your time.

From clients whose architects designed $800k dreams that got quoted at $1.3M, to professionals who unknowingly signed one-sided contracts, David has seen it all. His role is simple: give you honest, expert guidance before you make the kind of decisions that are hard to undo.

Tap into David's expertise on your schedule.
Simply select the Advice Package that suits you, and book your calls whenever it’s most convenient.

We couldn't recommend David enough! He helped us sense-check some early decisions, and stopped us from agreeing to features and high-end finishes that weren’t necessary. It saved us around $30k before construction even started!”

— Melissa, Norwood, SA

Why Get A Consultant Before You Build?

01

Save Thousands Without Compromising Your Vision

Small changes to your structure, materials, or selections can result in tens of thousands in savings, without sacrificing your dream design.

02

Avoid Costly Mistakes Before They Happen

From unrealistic budgets to the wrong contracts, many owners make avoidable decisions early on that derail timelines and budgets.

03

Get Unbiased Advice That’s on Your Side

Builders & architects have their own priorities. We don’t. We help you make smart decisions and step in early to resolve issues before they become costly disputes.

"We had a $800k budget. After a quick chat with David, we realised the designs we had in mind would have come back at $1.2M. He helped us reshape the plan before wasting time and money going in the wrong direction.”

— Carly & Josh, Malvern, VIC
