How do I sign up?

Signing up is easy!

Click on the ‘Get Started’ button at the top right of the page and follow the simple steps.

If you encounter any issues, please contact us for assistance.

Why do I need help planning my new home?

The short of it is: “You don’t know what you don’t know.”

Drawing on our 10+ years of industry experience, we’ve found that even the most well-prepared individuals can overlook key elements of their new home.

Our comprehensive program aims to ensure you consider each aspect of your new home, helping you avoid overlooking anything important. This sets you on the path to success and minimizes the likelihood of costly changes during construction.

Is there a cost associated with using Foresight Home Planning?

No, Foresight Home Planning is completely free to use.

This includes:

  • IdeaDrop tool: Get started by collecting and organizing your inspiration and ideas.
  • HomeVision program: Access all stages at no cost.

Our Builder Connect program is also complimentary and available to all users who complete the HomeVision program.

Please note that in some instances, Foresight Select Builders may require an initial fee or deposit to produce your New Home Proposal & Quote. This fee is paid directly to the builder.

Foresight Home Planning does not cover this quoting expense/fee; however, we do our best to find builders who will produce the initial quote free of charge.

*Please refer to our Legal and Privacy page for the full terms and conditions that apply to using and participating in the services provided by Foresight Home Planning.

What happens after I'm paired with a builder?

Once paired, your journey with your dedicated Foresight Select Builder begins. Foresight Home Planning does not actively participate in this phase.

The builder may reach out to introduce themselves and verify your details.

If the builder requires a fee for their quoting services, they will typically inform you at this stage.

Once approved by you, the builder will then create a tailor-made New Home Proposal just for you.

Upon receiving your New Home Proposal & Quote, you can use the Builders Quote Checklist, provided free of charge to all BuilderConnect participants, to help you understand and break down your plans and quote.

From this point, you’ll collaborate directly with the builder to finalize your contract and kickstart your construction journey.

Can I make changes to my project after it's been sent to a builder?

After you request to participate in Builder Connect, your IdeaDrop and responses from the Vision Crafting stage of HomeVision become finalised and transition to the Archive folder in your dashboard. This solidified vision allows for a smooth process in matching you with the most suitable builder and in creating an accurate New Home Proposal.

While your vision is set at this stage, it isn’t locked in forever. You’re free to make adjustments to your New Home Proposal up until the contract signing. Post-contract, minor changes are still possible, although be mindful these might incur additional costs due to administrative fees and builder margins on variation items.

This process underscores the importance of creating a comprehensive vision before engaging with a builder. Our service facilitates a clear, detailed vision, which makes it easier for you to convey your desires to a builder.

How does Foresight Home Planning help me save money?

Foresight Home Planning aims to facilitate an in-depth preparation phase, reducing the chances of unexpected changes or modifications during your home building journey. By having a detailed vision established before you engage a builder, you’re more likely to have a clear understanding of your desires, which can help you minimize additional costs associated with changes after contracts are signed.

Please be aware, even with a comprehensive vision, modifications during the construction phase can still occur due to personal choices or unforeseen circumstances. While our platform is designed to minimize the need for such changes, we do not guarantee a complete absence of modifications. Any changes made after signing the contract might incur additional costs, including administrative fees and builder margins on variation items. As such, we strongly advise you to review your plans thoroughly and discuss any potential modifications with your chosen builder before signing your contract.
