My Story
I’m Alex, the proud owner of ACHBuilds Pty Ltd, and my journey into the building industry has been anything but conventional. It all began when I was a healthcare worker, stuck indoors and battling a severe vitamin D deficiency. My best mate, Mitch, saw my struggle and pulled me into the world of construction, where I started as a labourer for his dad’s painting and plastering business.
Over the years, I’ve completed 15 projects, specializing in renovations, extensions, and new builds, all while developing a keen eye for detail that I’ve instilled in my team. We utilize a 300-point quality control checklist and world-class project management software to ensure transparency and communication throughout the build process. I believe that building isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about relationships, trust, and creating spaces where families can thrive.
I’m passionate about weeding out the dodgy contractors who cut corners and compromise on quality. My goal is to be a reputable source of information and building services for Victorian homeowners, ensuring that every project exceeds expectations. When I’m not on-site, you can find me motorbike riding, camping, or enjoying live music.
So, if you’re looking to build or renovate your dream home, let’s connect. I’m here to help you every step of the way.

In an industry that is really hard to find reliable people, Alex really stands above the rest of the competition. His attention to detail, commitment to producing quality work and his management skills got my challenging project completed within the timeframe he set for us, not including the fact he had to fix other builders mistakes and poor workmanship.

1
Submit Your Enquiry
Reach out to us through our Contact Us page or by phone or email. This initial contact allows us to gather basic information about your project and schedule a qualification call. We aim to understand your needs and determine if we are the right fit for your building journey.
2
Lead and Client Qualification Call
During this call, we will discuss your project in detail, including your vision, budget, and timeline. This conversation helps us assess your requirements and ensures that we can meet your expectations effectively.
3
Site Inspection or Referral to Professionals
We will conduct a site inspection to evaluate the space and discuss your ideas further. If necessary, we can also refer you to trusted architects, engineers, or surveyors to assist in the planning phase. This step ensures that we have a comprehensive understanding of your project’s scope.
4
Quoting Stage
At this stage, we will prepare a detailed fee proposal for our services. Please note that we do charge for this service; however, the cost will be absorbed into the total contract price if you choose to proceed with us. This transparency helps you understand the financial commitment involved. A follow-up meeting will be scheduled and booked, giving you time to ensure all the details within our fee proposal are correct and to allow you to note down any queries you may have.
5
Fee Proposal Follow-Up
We will meet either face-to-face or via Zoom to review the proposal, projected timeline, and budget for your build. This is your opportunity to ask questions and clarify any concerns, ensuring that you are fully informed before moving forward.
6
Contract Stage
Once you are satisfied with the proposal, we will draft a major domestic building contract along with a specifications document. This ensures that all parties are aligned and that the expectations for the project are clearly defined.
7
Approval and Build Commencement
Upon your approval of the contract, we will finalize all necessary paperwork and prepare to commence construction. We will agree on a start date and ensure that all pre-construction requirements are met. An induction meeting via Zoom will also be arranged to introduce you to your personal client portal on Buildertrend, our online project management software.

Progress Stages and Payments
As construction progresses, we will keep you updated with regular communication. Buildertrend allows for live updates and clear, direct, two-way communication, all at your fingertips, anywhere in the world. You will receive weekly progress overviews directly to your personal client portal and be informed in real-time of any RFIs, variations to be reviewed, or progress payments due.
Handover
Once construction is complete, we will conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. After final payment, we will arrange the handover documentation and present the keys to your new home, ensuring you are satisfied and ready to move in.
At ACHBuilds Pty Ltd, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and commitment to quality and transparency, ensuring that your building experience is as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
