why we exist

Too many people start building already confused, unsure who to trust or what things should actually cost. We step in to cut through the noise, translate the jargon, and keep your time, money, and sanity intact.

why we exist

When things go wrong on a build, it’s not the designer or the builder who pays the price.
It’s you. You’re the one left with the budget blowout, the legal battle, the stressful delays or worse, a half-finished home when the builder goes bust and leaves you to pick up the pieces.

why we exist

Over the years, I’ve had countless people come to me looking for help in exactly these situations, unsure where things went wrong or how to fix them.

why we exist

That’s why we broke the building process into the three phases that matter most and created a proven approach to guide you through them. We’re your project partner, your building broker, and your BUILDING ALLY.

I’ve built so much that chances are I’ve probably seen it happen before.

More than anything, we’re your
building-savvy friend.

We believe building a home should feel joyful, not stressful. It’s your dream, your investment, and yet you’re often expected to know things that only professionals truly understand. It’s easy to become overwhelmed, making decisions without fully grasping their implications, going back and forth, losing precious time and energy.

That’s where Build Play Live steps in. Consider us fluent in all the languages of building, from architects to builders and draftspeople. Our role is to translate your vision, priorities, and dreams clearly to everyone involved, so you feel heard and understood at every step.

To give you our full care and attention, we only take on a limited number of projects each year. It’s important that we truly connect and share the same vision. Like finding a friend or partner, the chemistry matters.

Because we’re here not just to help you build a home, but to make sure you enjoy the journey as well. If this resonates, we’d love to hear your story and help bring your dream home to life.

FAQs

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

Straight answers to your biggest building questions.

1. “Can’t I just figure this out myself?”

We love an empowered homeowner. But relying on Google or guesswork could cost you tens of thousands.

2. “We already have an architect/builder/designer.”

Great, we’ll happily work alongside your existing team to make sure your brief, budget, and goals align perfectly.

3. “This sounds expensive.”

Our job is to save you money and time. Clients typically save $80–120K by making smart decisions from the start.

4. “I’m not sure what you actually do.”

We help you choose the right builder, understand exactly what you’re paying for, and stay confidently in control from start to finish.

5. “Is this just another consultant who won’t get on site?”

We start every project with a site visit. We’re hands-on, not desk-bound.

This is exactly when we can help most. If you’re unsure, we’ll guide you clearly toward your next best step.
