How much does it cost to use the services of Home Builders Advantage?

We have a wide range of services to suit all situations and client needs, starting from being introduced to one of the most suitable builders for your situation, which is absolutely FREE! Alternatively you can take advantage of great savings created by engaging us to not only create a tailored home design specially for you, but then using our comprehensive network of builders to achieve the best possible price!

All investors or developers of residential property will save money by using our platinum service, designed specifically to get the best results out of every development. We charge a fraction of the cost of engaging an architect or designer, while providing more services and delivering much better value using our excellent design team and comprehensive tendering service.
Home Builders Advantage guarantees that we will save you more than the value of our fees or we will give you your money back - no questions asked! What have you got to lose?

Freecall 1800 BUILDWA (1800 284 539) to find out how much money we can potentially save you, and how much it would cost for your individual situation, (it's probably less than you think!) and don't forget to ask about our 100% money back guarantee!

Are there any hidden costs?

Absolutely not. Depending on the package you select, you pay a flat fee for our services. You might speak to us every day and make the most of every service we provide, or you might only utilise a few of the services offered as part of your package. Either way, you know upfront exactly what the cost will be so there aren't any nasty hidden surprises!

How much can I save by using Home Builders Advantage?

On average, Home Builders Advantage usually saves their clients 5-10% on the overall costs associated with building a new home compared to approaching a builder direct. This often equate to tens of thousands of dollars saved straightaway, not to mention the amount of interest this saves over the term of your home loan! We have done the research and work alongside the best companies in Perth to provide great discounts and excellent service on every aspect of your home including home loan finance, land sales, individual home designs, finding the right builder and all the finishing touches! So if you want to save money, contact us today!

What builders do you work with?

You name the builder and chances are we work with them! Home Builders Advantage has a comprehensive database of more than 50 builders across Perth including small family builders, right through to the largest building groups in Australia, so we will always be able to find the most suitable builder to meet your needs. Before we source quotes on your behalf or introduce builders to you, we talk to you about your situation and what type of builder you are most comfortable with. Whether you want the highest quality or the cheapest price (or anywhere in between), we are the best place to start your search!

Most importantly, we have the same fee structure in place with every builder we work with so you can be assured we never favour one builder over the other. You will be provided with experienced, unbiased advice based on your situation - every time.

Why choose Home Builders Advantage over going directly to a builder?

By using Home Builders Advantage, you are going to receive unbiased advice with your best interests in mind rather than recommendations from a salesperson who is trying to win your business. We will identify the best three builders for your situation, saving you time and money. Our system creates competition between builders, so that they are competing to get your business, which guarantees you get the lowest possible prices.  In a nutshell, our system guarantees fantastic pricing combined with excellent customer service!

Who is the best builder for me?

Perth has many builders all marketing themselves as the best. The truth is the answer will change for every project and client. It can depend on many factors such as price, build times, inclusions, flexibility, after sales services and more, which is why Home Builders Advantage will match you with the right builder to suit your individual needs. We keep a close eye on which builders are reducing prices or giving special offers at certain times, to ensure we always deliver the best value to you. This way we can guarantee results or your money back!

What if I can't find the right home design?

That's easy! If you can't find the perfect home design to suit your needs, Home Builders Advantage will design it for you! We have our own team of highly experienced in-house designers who will work with you until you are 100% happy with the design. Our designers also work closely with our suppliers so no aspect of your home is ever designed in isolation, ensuring we achieve the very best design outcomes. And best of all, an individual design doesn't have to cost any extra to build. In fact in many cases, using our tendering service with an individual design is cheaper than going with a builder's standard plan! Why not arrange a time to view some of the homes we have designed for our clients?

Can you help me with all the finishes for my home which aren't included in the building contract?

Absolutely! Home Builders Advantage has an extensive network of Trusted Partners who can help you with all the 'Finishing Touches' for your home including air-conditioning, floor coverings, window treatments and more! They provide a range of specials and discounts which are exclusive to our clients and because they are recommended by us you can be guaranteed professional service and great prices!

I work during the day. Will you work with me outside of business hours?

Of course! Home Builders Advantage prides itself on saving every client countless hours of stress and research and our service is designed to make the home building process easy for you! Many of our clients work, have young families or don't have time to dedicate to the process during traditional business hours so we will work in with your schedule. We can visit you during the evening or on weekends, whatever suits you. And if there are times you prefer not to be contacted, we will be sure to flag a big 'DO NOT DISTURB' sign in our calendar.

I am developing a multi-unit site. Can you help me?

Absolutely! Home Builders Advantage can help you achieve excellent economies of scale across multi-unit sites and we can achieve better prices than even the most experienced developers! Many developers are also often 'time poor' so we can help partner you with the right builder and trades to get the job done right. No development is too big or small and the tendering system we use gives the best possible results to maximise your profits.
