Why us
Why us
Every kind of builder suits some projects. Here's where a mid-sized builder like us fits, and where it doesn't.
| Builder | What you get |
|---|---|
| Tier-one builders | Big balance sheets and big overheads. They suit projects over $100 million. Below that, you pay for layers you don't need. |
| Volume home builders | Fast and cheap on standard designs. They aren't set up for multi-storey work or for designs that change. |
| Design-and-construct franchises | One price up front, but the design is theirs. Changes cost more and you see less of the detail. |
| Canary Constructs | A mid-sized builder with one project lead from tender to handover, open-book pricing and a site diary you can read every day. |
When we're the right builder
- Your project is between $5 million and $60 million.
- The design is still moving and you want a builder at the table early.
- You want to see the costs, not just the price.
When we're not
- Projects over $100 million. A tier-one builder will serve you better.
- A standard single home from a catalogue. A volume builder will be cheaper.
