Before you pay a deposit, get an independent set of expert eyes across your builder's quote — inclusions, upgrades, plans and siting — so you can proceed with total confidence.
Looking for some independent assurance before paying an initial builder's deposit? Ninedots can review your quote — assessing standard inclusions, selected upgrades, and your plan and siting. We provide advice and suggestions on any problematic omissions, and highlight the areas we believe require clarity or review before you proceed with your selected builder. It's the ideal time to seek independent advice and avoid common, costly build mistakes.
Juggling multiple quotes and tangled in confusion? It can be genuinely hard to compare one builder to the next. You're not only weighing up standard inclusions, promotions and floor plans, and the position of the home on your block — you also need to gauge each builder's suitability to meet your needs on time, budget and quality. Let us help you get clarity on your shortlist.
Our team brings together more than sixty years of combined experience across residential construction, investment acquisition, design and project management. That breadth means we're uniquely placed to give you the best possible advice — whether you're building your first home or growing a property portfolio.
We believe great outcomes come from collaboration, not conflict. Ninedots fosters positive, professional relationships with builders and helps streamline the build process — which is exactly why builders enjoy working with us, too.
We currently service Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo and the greater Geelong corridor, and have opened an Adelaide office supporting Playford, Gawler, the Barossa Valley and Mt Barker — with new franchise partners coming on board right across Australia.
Meet Our Team
Real families and investors we've guided to a clearer, more confident build.
Our mortgage broker introduced us to Ninedots to offer an investment comparison. Rebecca was able to save us $11,000 on our previous quote with added inclusions. We were supported the whole way through and now have happy tenants with a 2 year lease.
Discovering the services offered by Ninedots truly saved us so much time! We were going around in circles from one display village to the next simply confusing ourselves. Rebecca took the time to listen to our needs, summarised the best options available and provided guidance on potential hurdles we otherwise would have missed.
Until working with Ninedots we assumed all house and land prices were fixed! A great support — they really care for their clients.
We were guided through our best options in an easy to understand manner, we were financially well structured, and supported throughout the entire build. Rebecca was always on hand to answer our questions and clarify the unknown. We enjoyed the process and ended up with a home even better than we imagined.
A professional, responsive and customer-focused service that achieves great results — each and every member was a pleasure to work with. We have zero reservations about referring our friends to Ninedots; we know they won't be disappointed. Thank you team for your tireless efforts and continual support.
Over the past 2 years I've purchased three investment properties through Ninedots. Ninedots have great market knowledge and have supported me with all aspects of my portfolio.
The questions we're asked most about reviewing and comparing builder quotes.
An independent assessment of your builder's quote. Ninedots checks that the standard inclusions, selected upgrades and plans are clear, fair and accurately reflect what you actually want for your project.
So you fully understand every aspect of the quote before you commit. We identify omissions and unclear areas, explain anything that needs attention, and help you make an informed decision — avoiding costly mistakes down the track.
We review your standard inclusions, selected upgrades, and your plan and siting, and flag any problematic omissions. Where something needs clarity or further review, we tell you exactly what to raise with your builder.
Absolutely. We compare standard inclusions, promotions and floor plans, and assess each builder's suitability across time, budget and quality. Ask us about our multiple-quote review discount.
These are the items and features typically covered in a builder's base price — things like fixtures, fittings and basic construction materials.
Additional features or higher-quality materials you choose beyond the standard inclusions, usually at an extra cost.
We talk you through it in detail, highlight anything unclear, and make sure you understand the terms, conditions and true costs before you proceed.
Frequently: omissions, vague or unclear descriptions, discrepancies between the quote and the plans, and hidden costs that aren't obvious at first glance.
We draw on our industry knowledge and experience to compare your quote against standard practice, and confirm it genuinely meets your expectations and requirements.
