Just wondering if there is a market for this? For those that have done a knockdown rebuild, did you get a lawyer to review the contract? Was there any room to negotiate T&C's with a volume builder? Did you take legal advice to resolve building disputes/defects?

I suppose the word "cheap" was not intended - I just know that people have a budget and dont like spending $ on lawyers fees. I was more considering an alternative model for charging - eg fixed fees based on a short telephone consult to assist people with understanding their building contract / or a package price for ongoing assistance throughout negotiation / the build in the event that things go astray.

Budgets are very important and I am sure there could be something for everyone in your services. From an engineering/construction perspective things go astray quite often.
