In this episode of Builders Beyond Borders, Paul and Hugh tackle one of the most pressing concerns for homeowners right now: rising construction costs, fixed price contracts, and why the best builders are taking their time before starting your project.
With fuel prices fluctuating wildly, PVC piping up nearly 40%, and concrete suppliers issuing multiple price hike letters in a matter of weeks, the building industry is once again navigating uncertain waters. Paul and Hugh break down what’s really happening behind the scenes and why a builder who slows down to do their numbers properly is the builder you actually want.
In this episode they cover:
– The real impact of global events on Australian construction costs and why your build is affected by what’s happening overseas
– Why fixed price contracts are becoming increasingly difficult and what honest builders are doing instead
– The 20% buffer rule every homeowner needs to understand before signing a building contract
– Why builders are going broke again (just like during COVID) and how to make sure yours isn’t next
– How to spot the difference between a builder who’s pricing realistically versus one setting you up for failure
