Rebecca Hall, the founder and director of Ninedots Build Advocates, talked about the comprehensive build support services available to individuals constructing a new home or investment property. The business started 10 years ago in North Geelong and primarily operated in the Geelong region, but due to increased demand, they have recently expanded through franchising. They aim to bridge the knowledge gap that many people face when embarking on the new build journey.
Rebecca emphasised the importance of understanding the various aspects involved in the build process before starting. This includes factors such as:
- Finance & stamp duty
- Government grants
- Conveyancing
- Legal aspects
- Options related to land estates
Additionally, she mentioned the significance of comprehending the orientation, fill, and fall of the block being considered for building. Rebecca highlighted that Ninedots Build Advocates aims to make the build journey stress-free and enjoyable for clients.
The presentation focused on the wide range of support services offered by the company. These include:
• Build discovery sessions
• Assistance with land acquisition
• Builder selection support
• Full project management
• Subdivision support
• Design support, and
• Floor plan experiences.
They also provide services such as build contract and quote reviews, building inspections, and new home connections. Rebecca emphasised that their goal is to provide cost-effective options and ensure clients are connected to the right people at the right time throughout the build process.
Ninedots offers support in finding the best-fit builder for clients based on their requirements and preferences. They work with clients to understand their brief, fill knowledge gaps, and perform due diligence with builders on their behalf. The company provides formal quote reviews and contract reviews to ensure clients make well-informed decisions. They also offer services such as project management, variations, prime costs, provisional sums, and investment support. In addition, they assist with dispute resolution and provide access to industry-leading tradespeople, suppliers, and professional service providers.
Rebecca mentioned that Ninedots has developed partnerships with several builders, including Mimosa Homes, Chatham Homes, Glenvill Homes, Levonix Homes, and GJ Gardner Homes. The company strives to make the build process fair, reasonable, and tailored to the client's needs. They do not accept fees from partners or promote them solely for financial gain.
Throughout the presentation, Rebecca emphasised the importance of gathering knowledge and understanding individual needs before making decisions. The company offered free build support gift vouchers at the expo, giving attendees the opportunity to explore the various support packages available. Rebecca and her team were present to answer any questions and provide assistance to expo attendees.
Overall, the presentation highlighted Ninedots' commitment to providing comprehensive support services, making the build journey as stress-free as possible, and ensuring clients have a positive experience from start to finish.
