Brick by Brick is your practical guide to building a new home—without the stress, surprises, or sales tactics. Whether you’re in the early stages of planning or already talking to builders, this book walks you through each step of the journey with expert tips, insider advice, and real-world examples from people who’ve been there.
Created by the team behind Buildi, Brick by Brick is written for everyday Aussies who want to feel confident, prepared, and in control—no matter their budget or experience.
Problem: Buyers are unaware of land-specific risks (zoning, flooding, slope, easements).
Solution: Chapter 1 lays out due diligence steps to evaluate land before purchase, avoiding expensive surprises later.
Before you commit, we assess your land and project viability, examining zoning, site conditions, costs, and potential risks. This early insight helps you make informed decisions and lays a strong foundation for your build.
We match you with a curated shortlist of vetted builders tailored to your project. We manage the tender process, compare quotes, and assist with contract negotiations to secure the best value and quality.

We can review them, attend virtual builder meetings, and discuss contract terms on your behalf to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Once construction begins, we act as your independent advocate, conducting milestone checks to ensure your builder stays on time, on budget, and meets agreed standards. If issues arise, we handle the tough conversations, protecting your interests and keeping your project on track.
Even if you’ve already engaged a builder, we can step in to provide independent advice, review schedules, and make site visits to ensure progress is on track.
With Buildi, you gain a dedicated partner committed to making your home-building journey smooth and successful. From feasibility studies and builder selection to contract reviews and milestone accountability, we provide peace of mind every step of the way.
