Testimonials

Highly recommended for any one whom going to sign a building contract (feels like sign the life away). Knowing every single word of the contract but have nearly no idea what the contract would set you up. Anne is highly professional,patient and reachable to any question you have taking you through this very "scary " process so that you know what you signing for avoiding any further surprises. In another words saving money and time. - Thelma

Annelyse was an absolute pleasure to work with when reviewing our construction contract. We were originally given a three-day turnaround, but she had it back to us the very next day! Her reports were thorough, and our builders confirmed the details she highlighted. She went above and beyond by providing mock-up email responses and drafting further replies for us. Annelyse was prompt, professional, and always happy to answer our questions. We would highly recommend her! - Natasha

Annelyse was as absolute pleasure! We are undertaking a major renovation and dreaded seeking out legal advice on our contracts. Annelyse was highly responsive and able to slot us in in a matter of days. Her friendly and approachable manner was so much better than a "suit" that you might expect in this field. We would highly recommend Annelyse for a comprehensive assessment of your building contracts, delivered in everyday English. Thank you Annelyse! - Brianna

With expert guidance from Annelyse, we signed our building contract with confidence. Professional, concise, and efficient… a breath of fresh air. It was a nice surprise to feel we got more than we expected. You cannot go wrong asking her to review your contract before building, anywhere in Australia. - Sonya

We had a great experience working with Annelyse. We contacted her at the very last minute, she replied promptly and was able to review our contracts and give us peace of mind within a short timeframe which was so appreciated! She was thorough and I particularly liked how easy she made our lives by including a sample email that we could just copy and paste to our builder, as well as notes throughout our contract which were easy to ready and understand. Can’t recommend Build Together highly enough! - Kaitlyn

I’m so glad you’re helping me. I’d be still on page 1 if I was trying to interpret all this on my own - Sonya.

Our session today was very informative. You have explained to us all the clauses really well and also we feel very well informed on what to expect and how to work with our builder on this journey. - Sunita

We really appreciate the service you’ve been able to provide - it was exactly what we were looking for and it’s helped us understand how to navigate the contract! - Brenda

I’m so glad you’re helping me. I’d be still on page 1 if I was trying to interpret all this on my own - Sonya

Annelyse's building contract health check report was thorough, quite detailed and yet easy to understand. Annelyse was also very patient in answering questions and walked me through almost each and every line of the contract. I would highly recommend her services to a home buyer that would like to understand the contract nuances and make an informed decision! - Vijay

I regret not finding you at contract stage! 😅 - Charley

You’ve been a blessing, your always helping me realise, “that’s what I need to do’. You also make me confident in asking and knowing the rules.- Sophie
