ABOUT BUILDING CONSULTANCY
Technical Knowledge.
Practical Construction Support.
Building consultancy gives builders, contractors, developers and property owners access to practical construction knowledge when a project needs clearer direction. Glen Sim, Director and Building Consultant of Awesim Building Consultants, leads this specialist part of ABS Insurance Brokers.
With more than 35 years of hands-on building and construction experience, Glen can assist with project management, construction scheduling, quality and compliance discussions, technical advice, defect investigations and early dispute resolution. The aim is to identify issues early, provide practical options and help prevent a disagreement from becoming a larger and more costly building dispute.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is building consultancy?
Building consultancy provides practical, technical and project-based advice about construction work. It can assist with project management, construction sequencing, quality, defects, compliance, rectification and dispute-related building issues.
How can Glen Sim assist builders and contractors?
Glen Sim can assist builders and contractors with project planning, construction scheduling, technical discussions, quality concerns, defect investigations, contract-administration issues and practical options for resolving problems before they become more costly.
Can building consultancy help before a dispute escalates?
Often, early technical advice can help clarify what has happened, what evidence is available, what work may be required and how the parties can communicate a practical way forward. It does not replace legal advice, but it can help the technical issues be understood earlier.
Can ABS assist with NCAT building matters?
Yes. Through Awesim Building Consultants, Glen can provide technical advice, building inspections, expert witness reports and Scott Schedules for matters that may proceed to NCAT or other legal forums. The appropriate report depends on the dispute, evidence and procedural requirements.
What information is needed to discuss a building issue?
Useful information may include the address, plans, contracts, specifications, photographs, correspondence, inspection reports, notices, invoices, timelines and the specific question you need answered. Do not delay contacting us if evidence may be lost or building work is continuing.
