For you
Born from the frustration of seeing Gold Coasters priced out of the property market, Nesta was founded to flip the script.
We know building is better, but it's not necessarily front of mind for many home buyers. We guide you through every stage of the building journey, from finding land and matching with the right builder, to negotiating contracts and managing the process, so you can focus on what really matters: building your future. Our mission is to help you make confident, informed decisions that save time, stress, and money.
At Nesta, our builder brokers act as an independent middleman between the client and a range of builders. We don’t work for just one builder, so our advice is completely unbiased. By comparing quotes, inclusions, and quality across multiple builders (something most clients can’t easily do) we ensure you get a fair deal. This independent approach means you’re far less likely to be overcharged or locked into one builder’s limited options.
The benefit is also significant for the builder, so we are paid via the service provider, not the client. We also have established wholesale relationships with builders, giving you access to builder pricing that isn’t available to the general public. Because we bring consistent work to builders, we often negotiate better rates and inclusions than a one-off customer could. As a result, you still get a custom design, but at a price much closer to what a volume builder would pay.
Instead of being restricted to one builder’s range of designs, we help you design a home that fits your budget, block, and lifestyle, then match that design with the most suitable builder. Whether it’s a company that specialises in sloping blocks, double-storey homes, or high-end finishes, your dedicated broker ensures you’re working with the right builder for your specific needs. This flexibility often leads to a better outcome and fewer compromises throughout the process.
We simplify what can often be a complex and stressful process, handling builder selection, tendering, documentation, and negotiation on your behalf. We also help you compare quotes accurately, making sure you’re comparing “apples to apples”, and ensure all inclusions and contract terms are clear and transparent before you sign. In many ways, it’s like having a personal project manager before construction even begins.
Because we carefully vet builders and review all contracts, your risk is greatly reduced. We help you avoid builders with poor track records or hidden costs, and catch errors or missing inclusions before contracts are finalised. We even provide support if disputes arise during construction, giving you added peace of mind and protection throughout the build.
Builders enjoy working with our brokers because they receive well-qualified, well-prepared clients, clear project briefs, and a consistent flow of work without needing to spend heavily on marketing. You, in turn, benefit from abetter price, a better builder match, and a smoother, less stressful experience overall. It’s truly a win-win model that works for everyone involved.
TESTIMONIALS
The Nesta Family
Co-Founder, Broker
Co-Founder
A builder broker acts as an independent advisor who connects you with the right builder for your new home. Instead of visiting dozens of display homes, a builder broker assesses your budget, land, design preferences, and build goals to match you with trusted builders in South East Queensland. At Nesta, we partner with a panel of reputable, licensed builders, ensuring you get transparent quotes, accurate timelines, and a smooth journey from planning to construction.
A builder broker can save you thousands by comparing multiple builders and negotiating fair inclusions upfront. We understand where hidden costs and inflated margins can appear in contracts. By managing quotes, clarifying specifications, and leveraging our industry knowledge, Nesta helps you avoid costly mistakes and ensures your budget is spent where it adds the most value, not on unnecessary sales overheads.
No. Our service is completely free for clients. Nesta operates on a builder-paid commission model, meaning the builder compensates us as part of their standard marketing and sales budget. You get expert advice, builder matching, and full project guidance at no extra cost. It’s a transparent, win–win model where we only succeed when your build does.
Absolutely. We work with many first-home buyers across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and surrounding areas. Nesta simplifies the entire building process from finance pre-approval and land selection to choosing the right home design. We help you understand government incentives, grants, and builder promotions, so you can make confident decisions and get the best value for your first build.
You can, but it often means getting limited information and biased sales advice. Each builder only promotes their own designs, pricing, and inclusions. A builder broker like Nesta provides independent guidance, comparing multiple reputable builders side by side. We ensure you receive transparent pricing, matched expectations, and an advocate who represents your interests, not the builder’s.
