3. Owning your dream home in Australia
What was your experience?
It takes over 6 months to 2 years to get to the contract stage from initial
discussions with a builder.
Add more time for builder selection,
fl
oor plan & design con
fi
gurations and
fi
nance approval
The overall process from house hunting, planning, designing, and estimation
to contract preparation is manual, stressful and lacks transparency
Add to this the 2-15% margin builders are working with, there is little room
for them to invest in customer relationship building prior to sales up until the
contract stage

7. What does the market look like?
Brief desk research insights*
Aussies are still buying houses
In FY 2023, 665K properties settles nationally with $603B total spent.
This was 18.6% less than FY 2022 but higher than FY 2020 and FY 2021.
Immigration, downsizing and tree change have led to more demand
At the same time builders are going into liquidation and receivership operating
under tight margins, trade shortage, supply disruption and material cost
increase

8. How do we plan to help in this space
Elevator pitch for short term
A digital platform to streamline the construction process for small to medium-
sized builders and middle-class Australian families.
Facilitating real-time collaboration for pre-sales, site assessment, project
evaluation, planning, contract negotiations, and construction status awareness.
We aim to o
ff
er instant, user-friendly access to critical project information
anytime, anywhere, ensuring a fast and transparent turnaround.
9. What we are working on next
Validating riskiest assumptions
1. Builders will pay for a digital solution that helps them onboard, pre-sell,
manage customer relationships, show progress and handover homes in an
e
ffi
cient manner
2. There are enough small builders in Australia that have the problem of
onboarding and managing clients
3. The cost pressures have put focus on small to medium builders rethinking
investment in digital
4. We will be able to get talent to work on this
10. The ask
We are after advice on how to
take this forward
