John saved $50,000 with one 90-minute meeting & a rare insight shared about exterior cladding materials.
You’ll pay architects a hefty fee for a design only to hear builders tell you your project is 25%, 50% or DOUBLE the price, above your anticipated budget.
You’ll be stuck between a rock and a hard place.
You’ll either have to spend tens (if nots hundreds) of thousands more than you wanted to…
Or you’ll have to go back to the drawing board and pay your designer to have a less expensive project designed…
Or you may have to abandon the project altogether and lose the $10,000-$50,000 you paid for an architect to design your new home.
Due to rising material costs, this is a predicament many people today are finding themselves in.
Architects charge a small fortune to create a design for you.
However, it's chump change compared to what you have to pay to build it.
This includes:
Project management fees.
Building permits.
Roofing.
Windows and doors.
Plumbing.
Electrical.
Flooring.
Lighting.
Carpenters.
Because building designers and architects have little knowledge of these costs, they often underestimate what it takes to build a new home by 50-300%.
And this is if you get to complete it at all.
Over 80% of designs never get built.
Yes, you read this right.
A whopping 4 out of 5 people are unable to build their home or extension because they hadn’t consulted a builder first to find out how much it would cost.
Instead of having their dream home, they’re left with a “paper house” - an expensive drawing of what their home could have been.
If you want to add a kitchen or a bathroom to your home, the plumbing, ventilation and extra building and permits can throw a spanner in the works. All of which makes estimating the price per m2 tricky to predict.
Escalating costs can cause you to go over budget by tens of thousands. You may have to wait months, even years, to complete the construction.
This means your dream home or extension can quickly turn into a problem which hangs over you for months or years.
It consumes your life.
It’s the last thing you think of when your head hits the pillow each night and it’s the first thing you think of each morning.
You can find yourself constantly redesigning your home and struggling to hit the target budget.
Having to scramble for money from lenders at high interest rates.
You may have to swallow your pride and ask family and friends for help.
Or you have to make devastating compromises which don’t match the initial goals of your project.
You’re stuck with an incomplete project, rising costs and hundreds of thousands of debt.
The constant stress this causes makes you suffer from burnout.
And your relationship with your spouse can suffer as you play the blame game and constantly argue.
Why not save yourself tens of thousands of wasted dollars and the dire consequences it would have on your careers, relationships and your health?
Builders can give you clarity on the process. You’ll know the costs involved, and what is achievable with your budget.
So you can embark on your project without committing financially beyond your means.
They have decades of experience in building homes and modifying existing.
They know the entire process like the back of their hands.
They can predict the cost of every feature within a small margin of error.
This means they can give you an accurate idea of how much your project will cost to build so you can decide whether to go ahead with it or not.
You can find out how long it will take to build your home or extension.
They can also foresee the potential cost implications of a difficult site or architectural features.
If the size and quality of the home you are looking to build is not within your budget, they can make recommendations on where to cut back based on your priorities.
This puts you in control so you can direct your project to successful completion right from the very first decision.
In short, they help you design a home or extension which is within your budget. So you can build your dream home with peace of mind.

This is where a one of Duane’s team will go to your site. They’ll walk around the property with you and advise you on where things should go, what it should look like, and other important details for you to take into consideration.
If you don’t yet have a site, then you can simply meet and discuss your plans.
In either case, they’ll give you a good idea of what’s involved before you pay anything to a designer.
You’ll know all the costs involved in the process, from design to construction, and the sequence of steps involved in getting to the building stage.
You’ll find out what needs permit approval and the potential costs this could incur.
This will give you a clear direction for your project and what your next steps should be.
So you can decide on your budget for the design & build of your new home.
You can then tell your architect what changes to make to ensure they design your home or extension within your budget.
By discussing your budget openly with the builder/designer at the beginning of the project you’ll be able to find out if what you’re after is achievable.
This is a small step to take to safeguard yourself against financial ruin and the years of heartache a problem project can cause you.
You know the wise thing to do is to be clear on what you’re getting into and have yourself covered.
Don’t be like 4 out of 5 people who never see their design come to reality… or who get stuck with a problem project which makes their life a living hell.
