"Our experience with Build Buddy has been seamless...."

Initially, Greg paid $2000 for a custom builder quote, despite already having a design, and was astounded by the high costs with the builder quote coming in at ~$1.3 million. He was anxious about committing to a builder, fearing the project might not be completed. Greg found Build Buddy on social media and was attracted to the potential cost savings.

From Plans to Keys - in Just 9 Months!

Greg and Marcia had an architect draw plans for their dream home. They approached several builders to price the home, but the quotes came back well beyond their budget.


With Build Buddy, Greg completed his home in just 9 months using mostly Build Buddy trades, suppliers and consultants.

What did you love most about using Build Buddy?

"My favourite aspect of using Build Buddy is the control it provides. It allows me to purchase materials on sale, resulting in substantial financial savings while obtaining exactly what we want. The control is paramount, with financial savings being a significant benefit. I am eager to see the total savings at the end of the project.


I find the task management feature particularly user-friendly. Despite not being tech savvy, I have no issues navigating the platform, which is simple, well organised, and intuitive."

"Build Buddy is an excellent choice..."

I wholeheartedly recommend Build Buddy to others and have already done so. For anyone mindful of their budget or wanting to be actively involved in their build, Build Buddy is an excellent choice. The site always feels organised and clean, and I thoroughly enjoyed my involvement with the tradespeople. Being actively engaged in the building process is incredibly rewarding; the more involved you are, the fewer mistakes occur, resulting in a better quality home.
