What Our Customers Say

“Rebecca, Marc and Steve were absolutely incredible throughout our experience of building our first home. They were with us all the way; from sourcing land, identifying an appropriate builder and managing the build process.
We have had a bad experience in the past with a ‘buyers advocate’ type service and were quite hesitant and cautious about engaging Ninedots at the start but Rebecca very patiently stood up to all our rigorous questioning and delivered exactly what she said she would.

Not only is Ninedots a professional, responsive and customer focused service that achieves great results, each and every member was a pleasure to work with. We have zero reservations about referring our friends to Ninedots, we know they won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much team for your tireless efforts and continual support, we hope we can work together again when we next choose to build.”

Mariana and Freya R

“Discovering the services offered by Ninedots truly saved us so much time! We were going around in circles from one display village to the next simply confusing ourselves. Rebecca took the time to listen to our needs, summarised the best options available and provided guidance on potential hurdles we otherwise would have missed.”

Ben S

“We were guided through our best options in an easy to understand manner, we were financially well structured, and supported throughout the entire build. Rebecca was always on hand to answer our questions and clarify the unknown. We enjoyed the process and ended up with a home even better than we imagined.”

Li B

“I happened to come across Ninedots through my conveyancer and what a blessing it has been. I didn’t know such a service existed and I am so glad it does. I was already feeling quite overwhelmed going on this build journey alone, but with the team at Ninedots I have certainly felt supported. From the initial meeting with Marc, the team took time to understand my needs, wants and wishes in designing the best floor plan to suit my budget. Rebecca kept me in my budget. While Brad & Steve looked after the build. I have been very satisfied with the quality of the build. I appreciated and eagerly looked forward to the fortnightly updates with pictures and details on what work had been completed and what works where scheduled next. I was kept in the loop with any delays or changes to works being done. Any questions or concerns I had via email or phone call where promptly responded to by their amazing Admin support Shannen. What a gem! If you want a stress free build, I would highly recommend Ninedots. The whole Geelong team is fantastic. Thank You Shannon, Brad, Marc, Steve and Rebecca.”

“Our mortgage broker introduced us to Ninedots to offer an investment comparison. Rebecca was able to save us $11,000 on our previous quote with added inclusions. We were supported the whole way through and now have happy tenants with a 2 year lease.”

Lana B

“The Ninedots team have gone and continue to go above and beyond for us. We cannot recommend them highly enough. For peace of mind, definitely choose them.”

Rose V

“A Great Service, so supportive throughout the whole building process. Thank you to both Rebecca and Steve for making the process easy and smooth.”

Ange L

“Wow what an amazing experience!!! My partner and I had NINEDOTS assist us with our first home build and thank goodness we did. They were absolute life savers, saving us time and money as well as making the process completely stress free.
Rebecca was amazing working on all the admin and things behind the scenes whilst Steve was very hands on and very observant on our build.
Our whole build was an absolute breeze and we didn’t come across any problems (that we know of) Steve most probably fixed them before they became a problem! I cannot wait to build my next home, I will 100% go though NINEDOTS again. We can’t recommend them enough especially for first home builders as we found that we were very venerable and got taken advantage of in very early stages from volume builders.”
Stephanie C

“We had great service from the whole team at Ninedots during our build. Always ready to do checks when we were notified stage was completed. Steve did a great job checking our build and we are super happy with it.”

Build Inspections - FAQs

Build inspections are thorough evaluations conducted at various stages of the construction process to ensure that the work meets Australian Standards, the State Building Authority’s Guide to Standards and Tolerances, and your contract specifications.

Build inspections are crucial for maintaining quality control throughout the construction process, identifying issues early, and ensuring that the build adheres to the highest standards and contract requirements.

The build inspection package includes inspections at five key stages: pre-pour, slab/frame, lockup/pre-plaster, fixing/waterproofing, and final inspection.

During a pre-pour inspection, the inspector evaluates the foundation preparations to ensure they meet the required standards before concrete is poured, verifying that all elements are correctly positioned and reinforced.

The slab/frame inspection involves checking the structural integrity of the slab and frame, ensuring that all components are correctly installed and comply with the design specifications and building standards.

The lockup/pre-plaster inspection is important because it verifies that the building is properly sealed and that all internal structures are correctly positioned before plastering, ensuring that the construction is on track and free from major defects.

The fixing/waterproofing inspection checks the installation of fixtures and waterproofing measures, ensuring that they are correctly implemented to prevent future issues such as leaks or structural damage.

The final inspection ensures that the completed construction meets all contractual, regulatory, and quality standards, confirming that the home is ready for handover and occupancy without significant issues.

Build inspections help save money by identifying and addressing issues early in the construction process, preventing costly repairs and delays later on.
