THINKING OF BUILDING A NEW HOME IN AUSTRALIA?
New Build Assist provides independent guidance and verified quality — at no cost to you.
From choosing the right design and builder to independent inspections at every stage, we help identify issues early — supporting a smoother build without unnecessary disputes or delays.
Time and time again, we see people excited to build — then blindsided by issues they never expected.
You’re overwhelmed by endless house designs and plans — and unsure which one actually suits your lifestyle.
You’re worried about choosing a trustworthy new home builder you can rely on.
You're losing sleep over extra costs blowing the budget.
You’re concerned about corners being cut — and whether everything will be done properly from start to finish, without knowing how to verify a builder’s credentials.
You’re right to have these concerns. Going it alone without industry knowledge often means making critical decisions without the confidence that comes from verified, independent insight.

Building a new home should be exciting — not confusing, stressful, or uncertain.
But before you speak to any builder, it’s important to understand how the new home building process really works.
Once you’ve engaged with a builder, your options can narrow quickly — and bringing in independent support later can create unnecessary complexity.
By coming to New Build Assist first, you stay in control from the very beginning. As your independent new build advocate, we help you manage the entire process from start to finish. You remain fully involved in every decision — we simply provide clarity, structure, and oversight to make the journey smoother and safer.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of your true budget, compare verified builders side-by-side, and ensure your home is built properly — without hidden costs or corners being cut — all at no cost to you.
This is how clarity at the planning stage creates certainty throughout the build.
INSTEAD OF FEELING OVERWHELMED...
YOU GET A STRESS-FREE JOURNEY.
We handle the complexities of sourcing land, finding designs, and managing the process — guiding you from start to finish. You stay as involved as you like — we simply make it easier.
INSTEAD OF SECOND-GUESSING YOUR BUILDER…
YOU GET A PERFECTLY MATCHED, VETTED BUILDER.
We do the heavy lifting — analysing trusted builders and verifying their credentials to find the right fit for your specific budget, design, and location.
INSTEAD OF STRESSING OVER BUDGET BLOWOUTS…
YOU GET CONTRACT REVIEW WITH FINANCIAL CLARITY — INCLUDED.
We provide a high-level review of your builder’s contract to help identify potential risks, overlooked costs, and areas that may need clarification — before you sign.
INSTEAD OF HOPING EVERYTHING IS DONE PROPERLY…
YOU GET INDEPENDENT, QUALITY INSPECTIONS — INCLUDED.
This is our ultimate commitment. We arrange and pay for comprehensive, independent building inspections at every critical stage — so issues are identified early and standards are met.
It’s simple — and completely transparent.
New Build Assist is free to you because, when we introduce you to a builder you choose to work with, that builder pays us a referral fee from their existing marketing budget.
This does not add a single cent to your build cost. In fact, we reinvest part of that fee directly into your project — including covering the cost of your independent inspections and support throughout the build.
This is also why it’s important to speak with us before engaging a builder. By managing introductions from the start, the process stays clear, professional, and aligned — with everyone knowing where they stand.
We’re not tied to any one builder. We work alongside builders who are comfortable with independent oversight and clear processes. Most reputable builders welcome this approach, as it leads to better-informed clients and smoother builds.
Our role is to create clarity, reduce friction, and protect your interests — so you can move forward with confidence and build with certainty.

Discover how simple and safe building your new home can be.

Planning to build a new home anywhere in Australia is an exciting step — but it also involves navigating complex decisions that can have long-term financial and lifestyle impacts. Many people seek clarity around the true cost of building a new house, how to identify a trustworthy new home builder, and how to ensure lasting quality without unnecessary stress.
New Build Assist provides truly independent expert support throughout the new home construction process. Drawing on founder Luke’s 20+ years of hands-on industry experience, we help first-home buyers, upgraders, and downsizers move beyond a simple building a house checklist, and into a structured, well-informed build journey.
A successful new home build relies on aligning four key elements: the budget, the land (if required), the design, and the builder. Once your budget has been established, our process typically begins by exploring suitable designs and identifying builders whose pricing, experience, and build quality align with your project requirements. Where standard plans don’t suit your lifestyle, we can assist with plan modifications or custom design pathways.
We then help you find the right builder for your specific build, carefully verifying credentials, track records, and suitability — including access to specialist and custom home builders where appropriate.
Quality assurance remains a critical part of the process. Independent oversight through independent building inspectors at key construction stages helps ensure work is completed to the required standards and issues are identified early. With clear guidance and structured support, clients experience a more stress-free new home building journey — making informed decisions with confidence, rather than relying on guesswork.
New Build Assist simplifies the new home building process by providing structured, independent guidance at every key stage. Our role is to help you navigate designs, builders, budgets, and quality control with clarity — so decisions are made confidently and issues are addressed early.

We help you identify suitable land (if required) and explore home designs that align with your budget and lifestyle. From there, we connect you with builders whose experience, pricing, and build quality suit your specific project — including specialist and custom home builders where appropriate.
This approach reduces guesswork and ensures early alignment before commitments are made.

We help you establish a realistic Total Project Cost budget, ensuring key inclusions and allowances are understood upfront. We also conduct a high-level review of your building contract to highlight potential risks, overlooked costs, and areas that may require clarification — before you sign.
This helps prevent surprises later and supports clearer expectations for everyone involved.

Independent quality checks play an important role in a successful build. We coordinate and pay for comprehensive, independent building inspections at every critical stage — helping ensure work meets required standards and issues are identified early.
This additional oversight supports smoother builds, clearer communication between all parties, and greater confidence throughout construction.

We’ll help you gain clarity on your vision, budget, and next steps — and explain how our independent guidance can support your build from the very beginning.
Once you’re ready to proceed, we help coordinate the key elements of your build — from sourcing suitable land (if required) and aligning designs and builders, to arranging independent inspections and providing guidance throughout the process.
You’ll move into your quality-built new home after a well-managed, transparent journey — with confidence in the decisions made along the way.
Hi, I’m Luke — founder of New Build Assist.
For over 20 years, I’ve worked on the tools and behind the scenes of Australia’s building industry, across both residential and commercial projects. I’ve seen first-hand what makes a build run smoothly — and where things can break down when expectations, budgets, or communication aren’t aligned early.
My approach to New Build Assist is shaped by experience, both professionally and personally. Like many homeowners, I once assumed the process would be straightforward — only to learn how easily avoidable mistakes and miscommunication can derail even well-intentioned builds.
That experience led me to create New Build Assist: a service built around clarity, independence, and structure. Today, my role is to help homeowners make informed decisions, align the right people from the start, and bring calm oversight to what should be an exciting journey.
My insider knowledge is now your advantage — helping ensure your new home is built properly, suits your lifestyle and budget, and progresses with fewer surprises along the way.
Let us help you plan with confidence — and build with certainty.
Luke

Let us help you align the right budget, design, builder, and independent oversight — so your build progresses with fewer surprises and greater confidence.
