★★★★★
As first home builders, we cannot recommend Ninedots enough. There’s so much about the industry you don’t know and couldn’t possibly know, and they were a wonderful support. The reports are impeccable — so thorough and detailed.

★★★★★
Steve from Ninedots was an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the stress out of building with a volume builder — even being in the trade myself, his knowledge and attention to detail made it an easy choice. Pricing was extremely fair.

Steve & the team from Ninedots were fantastic and helped us so much during our building journey. They made everything easy to understand and were awesome to communicate with. Highly recommend for building a new home.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I arrange a Builder Contract Review?
The best time is before you sign your building contract. This allows us to identify important considerations, provide practical recommendations and help you make informed decisions before you're contractually committed.
What documents should I provide?
Your building contract is the primary document. If there are other documents relevant to your project, such as your builder's quote or supporting information, these can also assist in providing additional context where appropriate.
Is this legal advice?
No. Our Builder Contract Review provides practical building advice based on extensive residential construction experience. Where legal interpretation is required, we recommend obtaining independent legal advice.
What happens if important issues are identified?
We'll clearly explain our findings, identify areas that may require clarification and provide practical recommendations so you can discuss them with your builder before signing.
Can I discuss the review after I've received it?
Yes. We'll walk you through our findings, answer questions relating to the review and ensure you understand the important considerations before moving forward.
Can you review contracts from any builder?
Yes. Our Builder Contract Review is available regardless of which builder you've chosen.
