Client stories

What our clients say

Feedback from clients who had Brendan look at their plans and quotes.

Our plans called for heavy custom steel beams on the top floor. Brendan showed us how to use standard timber framing instead. Saved over six figures without changing the look.

Marcus T.Big savings on heavy steel

The engineers put way too much extra steel and depth into our ground slab. Brendan redlined the engineering plans and saved us $60,000 in concrete.

Christian R.Fixed an over-designed slab

Our builder snuck extra margins inside the sub-trade quotes and charged another fee on top. Brendan caught the double charge before we signed.

Julian K.Stopped double builder fees

We almost signed a cheap quote for our concrete floor. Brendan checked our soil report and saw it needed deeper piers. He saved us from giant repair bills later.

David & Sarah M.Saved from a cracked slab
