The Benefits of an Independent Building Consultant

Emily iwd 2025

Building a new home is one of life’s most significant investments. It’s exciting, but let’s be honest, it can also be overwhelming. With countless decisions to make, builders to pick, and contracts to navigate, many homeowners find themselves wondering if they’re making the right choices.

That’s where Emily Rose Homes’ building consultants come in. We are your personal advocates in the building process, and here’s why partnering with us might be the best decision you make on your home building journey.

We Advocate For YOU, Not Builders

Our loyalty lies exclusively with you – our client. Unlike representatives who work directly for building companies, Emily Rose Homes’ building consultants have no sales targets to meet or specific products to push.

When you work with an independent building consultant, you gain a dedicated professional who:

  • Prioritises your needs and preferences above all else
  • Pushes back against unnecessary upgrades or questionable recommendations
  • Negotiates on your behalf with builders and suppliers
  • Provides honest feedback about plans, materials, and timelines
  • Stands by your side through every decision, big or small

This unbiased advocacy means you’ll never be pressured into choices that don’t serve your best interests or budget.

Our Expert Services are FREE

Here’s the part that surprises most people, our comprehensive consultation services are completely FREE.

How is this possible? Independent building consultants receive commission from builders once your project begins construction. Much like normal sales consultants that work within one direct builder, we’re just external giving us more power to negotiate for you. What does this mean?

  • You receive professional guidance without paying consultation fees
  • We’re motivated to find you the perfect building match that will proceed to construction
  • You gain an expert advocate without impacting your building budget

It’s a win-win arrangement that gives you access to industry expertise without the typical consulting price tag.

Access to Perth’s Top Builders and Designs

Why limit yourself to one builder’s portfolio when you could explore options from multiple quality builders with Emily Rose Homes?

As independent building consultants, we:

  • Partner with a range of Perth’s most reputable builders
  • Give you access to hundreds of home designs and floor plans
  • Help you explore custom options across multiple building companies
  • Save you countless hours of visiting individual display homes and showrooms
  • Match you with builders who specialise in your specific style and requirements

This comprehensive approach ensures you find the perfect home design rather than settling for “the best option” from a limited selection.

Transparent, Unbiased Advice Based on Experience

In the building industry, what you don’t know can cost you (a lot). Our consultants bring decades of industry experience and will tell you what others simply won’t.

We provide:

  • Honest assessments of builder quality and reliability
  • Clear explanations of where corners might be cut
  • Straightforward comparisons between different building packages
  • Insights into which premium features are worth the investment
  • Warnings about potential issues based on our previous experiences

This transparency is invaluable in an industry where sales representatives are trained to highlight benefits while minimising potential downsides.

Stress Free Building Journey

Building a home should be exciting, not exhausting. Our clients consistently report that working with an independent consultant dramatically reduces their stress levels throughout the process.

We handle:

  • Complex contract negotiations and paperwork review
  • Regular communication with your builder
  • Resolution of issues or disputes that arise
  • Timely decision-making to keep your project on schedule

By taking these responsibilities off your plate, you’re free to enjoy the creative and exciting aspects of building your new home without the administrative burden.

Better Value and Pricing

Perhaps most importantly, an independent building consultant helps you get more home for your money. Our industry connections and bulk-buying power allow us to:

  • Secure better base pricing for your home package
  • Negotiate premium inclusions at standard prices
  • Identify where you can save without compromising quality
  • Recommend strategic upgrades that add value
  • Prevent costly variations and change orders

Many of our clients save thousands of dollars on their build – far more than offsetting our (already free) consultation services.
