PreBuild

Hi Emma, thanks for filling in the form. You asked about the rear extension with a new kitchen and living area. Is that right?

Emma

Yes, that's the one.

PreBuild

Good. A few quick questions first.

What would you like done, in a sentence or two?

Do you have drawings or approvals yet?

Do you have a budget range in mind?

Emma

Kitchen and living area together out the back, about 30 m². Drawings done, permit lodged. Around $150k.

PreBuild

Thanks. Rough ballpark: $130,000 to $180,000. That's a guide only. The real number comes from the business that can come and see the house.

Emma

Okay, that helps.

PreBuild

One local business will ring you. Nobody else.

Sample
The check callMade-up call.

Before the contract: get paid for the work that wins it.

A detailed quote on a custom home or a major renovation can take days of work. For builders who want to charge for it, we set up the whole pre-construction process: the questions up front, an explanation the homeowner reads before the meeting, a written preliminary agreement and online payment.

This is where PreBuild started.

  1. Before the meeting

    • What is the scope?
    • Are drawings or approvals done?
    • Do they own the home?
    • What is their budget range?

    01

    The questions, up front.

    Asked before you give up an evening to it.
