Speed Date Your builder

Planning to build, renovate or extend in 2027 or 2028?

Speed Date Your Builder™ is a one-day event designed to help Melbourne homeowners feel more confident choosing the right builder — and avoid the costly mistakes that can come from getting it wrong.

You’ll spend the afternoon learning what to look for before you hire, what questions to ask, how to compare builders properly, and what red flags to watch out for.

The day includes a 90-minute workshop on everything you need to know before hiring a builder, an expert panel covering stone, tapware, joinery, window furnishings and lending, and a two-hour speed dating session with hand-selected, independently vetted builders.

You’ll also enjoy drinks and canapés, receive a Building Survival Kit worth $140, and access over $2,000 worth of value across the event.

Because at the end of the day, the builder you choose can make or break your project.

Info: A dedicated session for builders, designers, consultants and industry professionals to connect, share ideas and build stronger referral relationships. The morning is designed to create meaningful conversations, showcase different building pathways and help the industry better understand how the right builder-client match can lead to better project outcomes. Featuring a Guest Speaker
