Avoid Costly Building Mistakes.
Speak with the Expert Who Knows Where They Happen.
David Wall has spent over 25 years in the building industry helping homeowners avoid the expensive, frustrating missteps that come with custom builds and major renovations.
He’s not a builder. He’s not an architect. He’s an independent consultant who knows how to spot red flags early, before they cost you tens of thousands or waste months of your time.
From clients whose architects designed $800k dreams that got quoted at $1.3M, to professionals who unknowingly signed one-sided contracts, David has seen it all. His role is simple: give you honest, expert guidance before you make the kind of decisions that are hard to undo.

What Others Gained by Talking to David First
“We couldn't recommend David enough! He helped us sense-check some decisions in our selections, and stopped us from agreeing to features and high-end finishes that weren’t necessary. It saved us around $30k before construction even started!”
— Melissa, Norwood, SA
"We had a $800k budget. After a quick chat with David, we realised the designs we had in mind would have come back at $1.2M. He helped us reshape the plan before wasting time and money going in the wrong direction.”
— Carly & Josh, Malvern, VIC
