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!”

See how Build Helpline can help you save time & money before and throughout the building process.

Consultations & Advisory Packages.

We offer flexible options, from individual consults to end-to-end project guidance. Whether you need a quick 15-minute call to address a single issue, or ongoing support throughout your project—you’ll get honest, straightforward advice so you can move forward with confidence.

Value Engineering.

Small structural element changes can save you tens of thousands, and reviewing selections & brands can save thousands on individual items. We can review your design, selections and engineering to identify savings, without changing your overall dream and intentions.

Conflict Resolution.

Building disputes can be stressful, long and expensive. If you’re facing disagreements over contracts, quality, or unexpected costs, we act as a neutral third party to help you find solutions and avoid legal battles.
