Who we’ve worked with
What our clients say
Our project managers have helped many customers from across Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula. Here’s what others have to say.
Paul Kegen, Architect
What sets Emily apart is her unwavering commitment to quality and her innate ability to foresee potential challenges, addressing them with innovative solutions. Her leadership and organizational skills are commendable, and she has earned the respect of clients and colleagues alike.
John Patterson
Emily`s expertise across all stages of the project meant that we always knew what was happening. Communication was brilliant. She provided realistic answers to all our questions and her advice and day-to-day decision-making kept the project on budget. We couldn`t recommend Build Fresh enough to anyone thinking about starting a building project.
Daniel Vicino
We run a fairly busy life with running a business, work and 2 little kids and so having Build Fresh engaged made the build a much easier process and reassuring that we won't miss something or get caught out by huge expenses we weren't aware of. This being our first experience building, we engaged Build Fresh to ensure we get a well-designed house built by a quality builder without massive budget blow outs and all these boxes were ticked. In fact, the house is well beyond our expectations.

Client Side Project Manager
Service FAQs
Do you offer project management services throughout all of Melbourne?
We service Melbourne inner and outer suburbs all the way through to the Mornington Peninsula.
When do I engage you?
The best time to hire a client side project manager is from the very start. We can listen to your ideas and guide you as to what costs, process, timeframe and challenges to expect. Then we can ensure every single decision on your project is a success, from matching a realistic budget to your project, selecting and negotiating a perfectly matched architect, to meticulously planning and executing every step of your project to its success. If you have already started your journey, this is okay too. We love to get involved at any stage of projects.
How much does a project manager cost?
Once we understand the scope of your project, we provide fixed price fees to ensure that we are an asset to your project, and not a cost! We work very hard to save you more than our fees along the way. Hiring a client side project manager is risk adverse and saves you from making inexperienced costly mistakes and you will benefit from our consultant and builder relationships that return special priced fees to our clients as we create many efficiencies on our projects for everyone.
How much will my build cost?
We often hear horror stories about projects that were undertaken without understanding all the costs. Many times, projects go through an entire architecture and planning process to find out a year later that they are completely outside of cost expectations and are sadly dropped without ever being built. We work hard to ensure that the project scope and budget are aligned at all times and that all the other consultants, fees and permits are considered and controlled from the start. After all, our reward is seeing our projects being built and our clients happily moving into their new homes.
