Get your building quotes compared and save $1000's
OVER 200,000 people who start self builds abandon them due to cost blow outs.
Why? Because they lack confidence in their builder quotes and don’t know how to compare them. That's where we come in.
Save time and gain confidence in your builder decision.
Building or renovating your home is one of the most significant investments you'll make - anywhere from $500,000 and goes up north of $1,000,000.
But comparing builder quotes and navigating the fine print can be confusing, overwhelming, and time-consuming.
We've got your back.
Simply Compare turns complex building quotes into easy-to-understand comparisons, empowering you to make confident, informed decisions about your project—saving you time and money in the process.
Check you are getting the right deal for your build. We've got your back.
Here’s How We Help:
Save You Money:
Wondering why one builder charges more than another? We find the gaps in your quotes, highlight potential pitfalls, and reveal where quotes differ, ensuring you make the best financial decisions.
Identify Hidden Costs:
Builders costs are just one major part of your budget, there are often costs that are usually on top of the builders quote (e.g. demolition, landscaping). Our comprehensive analysis uncovers costs that are not explicitly listed, and costs that are not included in your quote—giving you the full picture and a more precise estimate of your build.
Save You Time:
Just laying out two quotes next to each other in a easy to read format would take you a few days - and it's almost certain there will be key elements you'll miss. No more hours spent deciphering complex quotes. We transform contractor quotes into a standardized format, making comparisons quick and easy.
Build with Confidence:
There is no easy way to know if your builder is legitimate and won't go out of business in the middle of your build. Our optional Builder Trust Verification provides peace of mind, checking your builder’s insurance, license, background, credit reports, past cases in court, historical bankruptcies and more. A must when budgets and project success is key.
