Why this feature matters for new builds

Being featured on New Neighbourhoods is an exciting chance to show how Ninedots protects buyers during the new home build journey. From sourcing land in growth corridors to handing over the keys, our independent advocates deliver the clarity, quality assurance and project oversight that keep your build on track and stress-free.

Independent build support & consulting — what we do

• Land & estate sourcing: Identify serviced, build-ready blocks that match budget, location and lifestyle goals.
• Investment property advice: Assess builder performance, inclusions and long-term value for investors.
• Build support & consulting: A dedicated advocate to plan, review and manage each decision from pre-contract to post-handover.
• Build design consultation & advice: Optimise floorplans, specifications and inclusions for livability, durability and resale.
• Build quote reviews: Line-by-line comparison of quotes and promotional “packs” to expose gaps, exclusions and hidden costs.
• Build contract reviews: Independent review of conditions, PC sums, timeframes and variation clauses before you sign.
• Project management: Program oversight, builder liaison and proactive risk management to avoid costly delays.
• Build inspections: Stage-by-stage inspections (slab, frame, lock-up, fixing, PCI) with photographic evidence and rectification lists.
• Quality assurance: Defect identification against NCC, manufacturer requirements and relevant Australian Standards.
