Stay On Track, In Budget and Find Joy in the Journey
“This Issue of Quarters – Building Fundamentals explained everything I needed to know about the Building Process Before I began! ” – Caitlin Byrnes
Building is a Game of Choose your Adventure, where you balance Budget, Time and Quality.
Depending on who you speak to you will be told you must hire an Architect, or you should get a volume builder or perhaps Owner Build to save money…
But it is not that simple!
Everyone has different commitments, money, values and expectations – the only way to navigate this process without Stress, without huge Mistakes, without Budget Blowouts is where you are in complete Control of the Process.
There is no guide which outlines the complete process and it is no one consultants role to explain it all to you. Depending on who you speak to they will tell you how they did it and recommend you do the same without giving you all the options.
Don’t get stuck saying ‘I didn’t know that!’ or ‘Why did no one tell me?’
We speak to so many people who didn’t know how to calculate and control the costs before they begin and who then get a massive shock and need to scrap plans they have spend tens of thousands of dollars on, all because they didn’t know how to manage this before they began. They thought their designer would handle it.

This issue is jam packed with all the things you didn't know you needed to know before you Build and Renovate. If you are planning to build or renovate within the next two years then Quarters - Issue 1 - Building Fundamentals has you covered!
Registering as a Residential Builder, backed with a degree in Construction Management and a Masters in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Rebeka just wanted to help women build and renovate and enjoy the process.
“It is a privilege to be able to renovate and build a home for your family. despite how stressful it can appear when you start.”
Yet so many women were having issues and coming to Rebeka to ‘fix’ what had already become a tumultuous situation and relationship between the women she was speaking with and their builders!
Many times she could see where the issues had started, really early in the piece and it was this lack of knowledge of the process and understanding that could have saved these women from such stressful and horrible experiences. BuildHer Collective was founded to solve this problem and make the process enjoyable from the beginning to the end!
