HomeOwner Guardian
The average Australian new home build has 15-25 variations adding $30,000-$80,000 to the original contract. Guardian helps you track every variation, understand the cost impact, and maintain a signed approval trail.
Builders often present variations verbally or via informal text messages, making it impossible to track the true cost impact. Without a system, homeowners discover at lock-up that they're $50,000 over budget with no clear record of what was agreed.
Every variation is logged with: description of work, reason for change, cost impact (additions and credits), date proposed, approval status, and optional digital signature. Nothing can be changed after signing — creating an immutable record.
See your total contract value, total approved variations, and projected final cost in real-time. Get alerts when variations push you past key budget thresholds. Know exactly where your money is going at every stage.
When your builder presents the final invoice, you'll have a complete, signed record of every agreed variation. No surprises, no disputes about what was included. This alone can save homeowners tens of thousands of dollars.
