" I had been dealing with an
array of building contractors and obtaining quotes in person
& after doing my research, thought I had finally found a
builder. Boy was I wrong. Two years later and after
negotiations back & forth, variation after variation and
council submission after council submission, I had no choice
but to walk away. Not a great outcome for our first property
development.
I had been speaking to a colleague at work, who recommended
a building broker, which I had never heard of, but also had
nothing to lose. That's when we met Ian, from Statewide
Building Brokers. Ian explained the process and took at lot
of the leg work and research out of the equation. He was
able to use the existing plans we had and tender that out to
a range of builders. The best bit, it was free of charge and
only used reputable builders with a fixed price HIA building
contract & build time.
We had several meetings with Ian, so he could understand
what we were trying to achieve, gave us some feedback & some
ideas to consider and then set-up a face-to-face meeting
with the builder. Once we had met the builder (which Ian was
present at), we felt comfortable having someone who could be
that liaison point between the consumer and the builder and
ensured we were comfortable and confident in our decisions.
The builder was great too, he gave us several addresses of
properties they were currently building & even gave us
access to a similar spec home, we could walk through to see
the finished product. This of course was the biggest asset,
as we felt confident in our builders ability to execute the
plan.
Less than 4 months on and both properties are well underway.
I would still be negotiating with the original builder, if
we hadn't made the decision when we did. So far, so good and
soon to begin our planning phase for the next development
and will be going back to Ian again.

We were struggling to find a
builder who shared our vision for our dream home. By chance,
we came across Ian and from then on, everything was easy.
Ian made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. He knows what
he is doing, is very professional and has the experience in
the building industry to back his expertise. Ian helped us
draw up our plans and made our vision come to life. There
was never a time when we had to contact Ian to ask where
things were at. Ian kept us in the loop and kept the process
moving at a good pace. He took the pain and time out of
finding a builder. We are really happy with the service Ian
provided. We highly recommend you use Ian Dunning to help
you design and find the right builder for your new home.
Karina and David Watt, PORT NOARLUNGA
Hope business is going well. Our plans will hopefully be at
council next week. Getting closer…. We are really happy with
Chris. He’s been great so far.
Thanks again
Regards
Karina
