For you

What We Offer

We believe building a home in South-East Queensland should be simple, transparent, and exciting, not overwhelming. We help Queensland families and first home buyers build the life they want.

Nesta is redefining the home building journey, empowering everyday Australians to build with confidence and peace of mind. We guide you through every stage of the build, 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.

Why our model works

Independent Representation

At Nesta, we act as your independent guide through the building process. We’re not tied to any single builder -  instead, we work with a trusted network across South-East Queensland to find the best fit for your budget, block, and vision. By comparing quotes, inclusions, and build quality side by side, we help you make confident, informed decisions without the stress or sales pressure.

Free and Transparent

Our service comes at no extra cost to you. Nesta is paid by your selected builder through their sales and marketing fund, so your build price remains unchanged whether you engage us or go directly to the builder. This approach allows you to enjoy the benefits of professional guidance, trusted builder connections, and expert negotiation, all without adding to your costs. With Nesta, you gain an advocate in your corner who ensures every detail of your build is managed with transparency, confidence, and care.

Choice and Flexibility

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.

Streamlined Processes

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.

Risk Reduction

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.

Everyone Wins, Especially You

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.

FAQS

Still Have A Question?

See all FAQs

01

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.

What is a builder broker/building broker?

02

How does a builder broker save me money?

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.

03

Do I have to pay a Builder Broker?

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.

04

Can you help me if I’m a first-home buyer?

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.

05

Why can’t I just contact builders directly?

You absolutely can. Our relationship with our builder partners is critical to you getting the best experience, so we're not here to list the negatives of going direct. If you're an expert, go for it. If you feel like there's more to understand, working with a broker makes your life much, much easier. A builder broker like Nesta provides independent guidance, comparing multiple reputable builders side by side so you get competitive quotes. We ensure you receive transparent pricing, matched expectations, and an advocate who represents your interests throughout a fairly complicated process.
