Simon’s journey with Prem Built is a textbook example of how the process should work when builder and architect collaborate from the start. After receiving an initial concept from Insite Architects, Simon’s dream home appeared out of reach — with early estimates coming in at over $900k, well above his $650–700k budget.
That’s when Prem Built stepped in with a consultative approach, working closely with Simon to identify smarter, more cost-effective solutions. By reworking the roof design and simplifying the connection between old and new structures, we significantly reduced complexity and cost — bringing the project back in line with Simon’s budget without sacrificing quality or vision.
From there, we progressed to formal tender, where the final cost landed within 1% of our consult estimate. Construction ran smoothly, and Simon received a beautifully finished home — on time, on budget, and built exactly as planned.
