You deserve to work with a commercial builder that can match your design excellence with high-quality construction that aligns with your vision, budget and timeline while ensuring a stress-free and, dare say, enjoyable project journey.
The saga of architect–builder relationships can be a tale of frustration and tension. Most project journeys start on a good foot – with an optimistic sense of comradery – but often lead to a breakdown in communication and differing expectations. Disagreements arise over design interpretations, budget constraints, or construction methods, resulting in delays and additional costs. As the project progresses, unresolved issues escalate, eroding trust and collaboration. Sound familiar?
When was the last time you experienced a stress-free relationship with a builder?
The unfortunate truth is that such instances should be commonplace but are few and far between. Instead, you’re likely familiar with the telltale signs of a strained architect-builder relationship.
Builders with a hero complex can frustrate the whole project team by neglecting their expertise, leading to poor collaboration and compromised project success.
It’s frustrating when builders overlook or outright ignore the detailed plans and specifications you’ve painstakingly prepared. Seeing your carefully crafted designs disregarded on-site can be disheartening and undermines the project’s integrity.
Due to a lack of transparent communication with builders, you often feel isolated and uninformed. The absence of clear communication channels makes it challenging to address issues and achieve desired outcomes.
When builders are reluctant to offer proactive solutions for constructability challenges, you’re left to navigate these complexities alone. You rely on their expertise to overcome obstacles, but the absence of viable solutions only adds to the project’s difficulties.
Dealing with poor project planning, constant urgent requests, and excessive administrative burdens takes a toll on your workflow and overall project satisfaction. It disrupts your rhythm and reflects poorly on the project’s progress, adding unnecessary stress to the process.
Inferior finishes or unnecessary design changes undermine the vision you’ve worked hard to realise. Seeing your designs compromised is disheartening, leading to doubts about the final outcome’s integrity.
A lack of ownership from the builder can be frustrating, as they deflect their problems onto you – expecting you to resolve issues that arise from their shortcomings. You shouldn’t have to bear the burden of their mistakes, yet this shifting of responsibility complicates the working relationship and impedes progress.
It’s time to embrace a new reality – a stress-free relationship with your builder from start to finish, backed by mutual respect for expertise and a shared commitment to excellence.

The entire team at FARA delivered Patina Restaurant at Alumni Court to a high standard during a challenging time in the industry. This project is a testament to their ability to run complex projects in live environments and to collaborate with the stakeholders. It was clear their drive to collaborate was of the utmost priority. We hold this project in high regard, and this can be largely attributed to the FARA’s craftmanship and abilities on site.
We were delighted with the outstanding refurbishment work carried out by the FARA team. Throughout the project, FARA showed remarkable dedication, skill and professionalism, exceeding our expectations. It was a pleasure working with such a dedicated team and we look forward to future collaborations.
Fay and I developed a strong working relationship working together on Aidan’s Place, a new canteen for St Aidan’s Anglican Girls School. Fay regularly fought for design outcomes, bringing the design vision to life with precision and care. Fay’s primary objective was the overall success of the project, prioritising quality outcomes that are now thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by the school and will stand the test of time. I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside Fay and look forward to many more successful collaborations in the future.
We design a lot of fitouts of these PS78 style GLA blocks. I especially enjoyed this one [Coombabah State School D Block] because we could use green. As usual, this was a D&C project and we had no involvement post tender issue. So it’s good to see we had a great team on board who carried the concept through to completion. Well done everyone involved.
