Comprehensive Project Management for Stress-Free Builds
Ballast Point offers expert project management across the full lifecycle of your build—whether you start with us from concept or bring us in partway through. As one of the few truly integrated Design + Build firms with both registered architects and licensed builders in-house, we bring clarity, coordination and confidence to complex residential projects.
Our dedicated team takes ownership of your project, coordinating architects, consultants, engineers, contractors and certifiers to keep everything running smoothly. We manage compliance at every step, with expertise in construction certification across all building classes, including Class 2.
Why owners rely on project management
Most owners turn to a project manager because they:
Lack time, energy or expertise to coordinate every moving part.
Prefer to avoid the stress of dealing with trades, consultants and constant decisions.
Recognise that experience matters—an expert will simply do a better job than a DIY approach.
Understand the hidden risk of acting as an “amateur” project manager on a complex build.
If you’re time-poor, new to construction, or simply want the best outcome, professional project management removes unknown risk and delivers a smoother, higher-quality result.
How can Ballast Point help:
Bring the whole process together—scope, time, cost, quality, risk, communication and project objectives.
Manage every party on your behalf: architects, engineers, builders, contractors and consultants.
Slot in at any stage—from the first design consultation to final hand-over.
Work seamlessly with any team—whether you engage our own architecture or construction crews, or an external firm.
Provide a dedicated team of project managers who run robust systems, checks and balances, and clear communication cadences.
