UndercoverArchitect-As-Seen-In

You've (no doubt) heard the horror stories ...

The builder that went bankrupt mid-project and left their client with a big debt and a half-finished build.

The builder who was great at the beginning, but then hardly turned up and blew out timelines.

The builder who had a great quote, but there were extra costs and budget blowouts at every turn.

The builder that (once the contract was signed) never returned calls or provided updates.

The builder who bullied their client, or kept making mistakes, or refused to follow the drawings.

They go on and on.

CHOOSING YOUR BUILDER CAN BE A NERVE-WRACKING (YET ESSENTIAL) STEP IN ANY NEW BUILD OR RENOVATION PROJECT.

You’ll be handing over hundreds of thousands of dollars

And trusting this person, and their company, to not only build you a home

But also to deliver the dreams you’ve been investing time, money and energy in.

You’ll have them in your life for months and months

And then be living for years … and decades … in the home they’ve built or renovated for you.

The quality of their work literally keeps the roof over your head.

Hello ... I'm Amelia Lee, from Undercover Architect

undercover-architect-amelia-lee-1000x1414

For over 30 years now, I’ve been working in the residential design and construction industry.

As an architect, I’ve worked on over 250 projects, including 3 renovation / builds of my own. 

Over that time, I’ve worked closely with builders in residential projects with budgets ranging from $150,000 to over $3,500,000 (plus some much bigger projects too! #sydneyolympics)

As the Undercover Architect, I’ve worked with thousands of homeowners as they’ve built and renovated their family homes. 

And, as a Co-Founder of Live Life Build, I coach and teach builders in how to run better building businesses, and work effectively with their clients.

I’ve seen first-hand, how life-changing it is to
work with a builder you trust, that works well with you,
and that makes it a joy to build or renovate.

(Psssst ... You can experience this too)

Thank you, I definitely feel a lot more confident in what I am looking for.

FOR EVERY DISASTER STORY I'VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT A BUILDING PROJECT GONE WRONG ...

There was a homeowner who wasn't armed with the knowledge they needed. And so, there were:

>> Questions not asked

>> Steps skipped

>> Red flags missed

>> Avoidable mistakes made

>> Learn what you need to know to make the right choice

>> So you can choose confidently

>> Ask the right questions

>> And set up a fantastic relationship

>> One based on trust, authority and expertise

INSTEAD, YOU CAN GET INFORMED AND KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
IT STARTS HERE.

Something that homeowners often forget is this …

You unlock what’s possible for your home.

Because YOU make the choice of who you bring on board. And YOU decide who to trust, and invest in, to bring those home dreams to life.

But if you don’t know

  • how to choose
  • the questions to ask
  • the checks to do
  • the mistakes to avoid 

Then you can fall for the builder who just tells you what you want to hear.

And end up with a dodgy operator on your team who will proceed to make your build (and your life) a stress-filled nightmare ride …

Instead of the enjoyable, collaborative, rewarding and fulfilling experience it can, and should be.

It can feel like there's so much at stake ...

Not only in the months you’ll spend on site building and renovating, and the years (and decades) to come that you’ll be living in that home.

And the long-term impact a dodgy builder and disastrous build can have on your financial future, and the financial value of the asset you’re creating.

The good news? ... you CAN learn how to choose your builder, and be able to do it confidently, and do it well.
