Building Consultancy
An experienced, independent third-party service to oversee every aspect of your build – from tender and contract reviews to mandatory progress and handover checks – ensuring quality and compliance throughout.
Over a Decade of award-winning building, now in your corner.
Harlor Building Consultancy is founded upon our award-winning Custom Forever Home Building Company, which has been in operation for the past 18 years in the Shoalhaven area.
Buying, renovating or building a new home can be so overwhelming. There’s a lot of information, a lot of pressure and not enough support. We are a customised service who can assist and advocate for you throughout the process, offering practical advice, clear guidance and independent assessments so you can move forward with confidence, not confusion.
Being qualified and experienced Builders already in the industry, together with our expert eye for detail and thorough knowledge of the NSW Home Building Act, makes us the perfect insurance policy for your new build or home purchase.
A trusted set of eyes and expertise at every critical stage.
We oversee the moments where the most can go wrong and where an experienced builder’s opinion is worth its weight in gold.
Tender & Contract Reviews
Helping you understand your contract, inclusions and obligations before construction begins, providing greater clarity and confidence from day one.
Progress Assessments
Independent assessments throughout the build process to monitor quality, compliance and adherence to NSW building standards at each critical stage.
Progress Claim Guidance
Providing increased confidence when reviewing and approving builder progress claims by helping you understand what has been completed and whether the claim aligns with the stage of construction.
Practical Completion & Handover Checks
Comprehensive assessments before handover to identify defects and outstanding items, helping achieve a smoother completion process and reducing the risk of issues after you move in.
Dispute Resolution Support
Sometimes all you need is a calm, experienced voice to help find middle ground. We can help resolve issues with your builder or tradesperson before they turn into expensive legal battles.
Home Condition Assessments
Whether you’re purchasing a new home or an older one, we can give you a clear, easy to understand assessment of its current condition, helping you understand what’s normal, what’s concerning and what’s worth negotiating.
With over 2 decades of industry experience, we have realised people don’t just need a Builder, they need someone they can trust to give guidance and support. We have worked with every type of client and every type of Builder. We’ve seen great communication and terrible communication. We have seen small issues turn into big disputes simply because no one stepped in early enough with clear, practical advice.
Harlor Building Consultancy can help homeowners, buyers and renovators understand their homes, avoid costly mistakes, and navigate the building process with confidence.
