Constructor exists to help people building a new home, especially for the first time, understand and check what's happening on their build.
Builders aren't always great at communicating with their clients, and that leads to frustration, high emotions and tension during the build.
Here you'll find plain-English guides for each stage of your build, stage-by-stage inspection checklists (C1 to C23), and straight answers on contracts, defects and your rights in Queensland.
Anthony Painter, founder
I've spent over 24 years in Queensland residential construction. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management and a Workplace Health and Safety Officer (WHSO) certificate.
My experience covers estimating, scheduling, contract administration, building maintenance, site supervision, project management and dispute resolution.
Working with a major contractor gave me a close look at how the industry works, and where homeowners get let down.
Outside work I enjoy hiking and camping, which is a big part of why I care about building sustainably.
