Get a second opinion on your build or renovation. Fast answers. Fully remote. Send me your quote, variation, photos or situation — I'll tell you what's actually going on and what to do next.
Your builder & tradie are looking after their own interests. Who's looking after yours?
Book a Free 15-Min Call →No obligation. If I can't help, I'll tell you who can.
Call me directly, or send your quote, variation, photos, or situation — whatever's easier.
I go through what you've sent and work out what's actually going on.
Plain English. What's wrong, what it means, what to do next.
That gap is where the problems happen. Here are the five things that catch homeowners out most.
Most homeowners pick a builder based on a recommendation and a price. That's not enough. Licence issues, dodgy ABNs and poor track records only show up when you know where to look.
The number one building complaint in NSW. Most people can't tell what's serious and what's not — and by the time they find out, the trade has been paid and moved on.
The second biggest pain point. A variation arrives, sounds plausible, and most people just pay it — without checking whether they actually had to.
Delays blow out budgets and lives. With builder collapses up over 30% in two years, a build that stalls can quickly become a build that never finishes.
Most quotes have gaps — items left vague on purpose that become expensive extras later. I compare what you've been given against what a job like yours should actually include.
You send me the paperwork, the photos, or the problem. I tell you what I see and what to do about it.
I go through your quote and paperwork and tell you what's missing, what's vague, and what could cost you later. Before you sign anything.
Send your quote through →I look into their licence, ABN, and past work. If something's off, I'll find it before you pay a deposit.
Check your builder & trades →A variation arrives. The builder's pushing hard. Something looks wrong. Call me and I'll tell you what to do.
Get help now →Send me photos of whatever looks off. I'll tell you if it's a real problem, how serious, and what to do about it.
Send the photos →I've spent nearly two decades on the builder's side of residential construction — running sites, managing trades, and dealing with the exact situations homeowners face.
I know how this industry actually operates. How decisions get made, how problems get handled, and where things go wrong. I've seen defects signed off, variations pushed through, and work paid for that should never have been accepted.
Homeowners make big decisions every day — signing off on paperwork, approving variations, paying for work — without fully understanding what's in front of them. Not because they're careless. Because no one's explaining it to them.
Build Champion exists to fix that. Everything is done remotely — phone, video, photos, documents. You can be anywhere in Australia.
If I can't help you, I'll tell you that too. And point you to whoever can.
Three examples — pre-sign, mid-build, and defect review.
A strata committee was about to sign with a builder when I found the licence and ABN didn't match. The builder wasn't who they said they were.
They walked away before paying a cent.
A $5,500 variation came in. Looked fair. But when I checked the original scope, $3,800 of that work was already included.
They pushed back and paid $1,700 instead.
Photos showed a roof strutting beam had been over cut — a structural problem. The carpenter hadn't been paid yet.
The carpenter fixed it before being paid.
Full money-back guarantee. No questions asked. If you don't get value from the conversation or the review, you get your money back. Simple as that.
Send a photo or ask a question. I'll tell you if it's a real problem or not — and what to do about it.
Get a Sanity Check →I go through a quote, variation, or issue in detail and tell you exactly what I find.
Get a Review →Full review before you start — builder and trades check, quote and paperwork review, what to watch out for, and a plan going in.
