BYBWA was created to help clients understand the ins & outs of their Preliminary & Building Contracts
“You need to sign now or you could lose the block”
Unfortunately, this pressure tactic happens more often than people realise. When buyers are emotionally attached to a block of land, fear can take over and rushed decisions often follow.
Before signing anything under pressure, it’s important to understand:
1️⃣ What your actual timelines are
2️⃣ Whether extensions are possible
3️⃣ What risks exist within the contract
4️⃣ What alternatives may be available
Feeling pressured doesn’t mean you don’t have options. The key is getting clarity before committing to something that may not be in your best financial interest long-term.
At Before You Build WA, we help clients understand the full picture before they sign. DM us today to book your free consult.

Think your siteworks are “fixed price”? Think again. Many homebuyers assume that a “fixed price” contract means no surprises. However, when it comes to siteworks, the reality can be very different.
Often these prices are subject to assumptions about your block:
➡ Soil type and stability
➡ Drainage conditions
➡ Site levels and cut/fill requirements
If the builder’s assumptions don’t match reality, you could be facing unexpected costs, even in a “fixed price” contract.
A fixed price is only truly fixed if it accounts for your site’s specific conditions. Always review the contract’s sitework clauses carefully and ask “What assumptions are being made and how could they affect my costs?”
Don’t leave your budget to chance. Contact us for a free consultation to review your contract and make sure your “fixed price” is really fixed.
