We engaged Ryan and Locspec Building Services to complete a major renovation on our 1940 miners cottage after looking carefully at different building companies. We definitely made the right choice to go with Locspec and their team. Their communication, teamwork, integrity and suggestions ensured the whole process was exemplary. We are so proud of the finished product and would not hesitate to recommend Locspec Building Services to anyone looking for a quality service with an outstanding team.

Extremely professional and friendly crew. Very obliging and patient during the build process too. We were very very happy with the end result and am only too pleased to highly recommend Ryan and co. He was a pleasure to deal with and was both polite and friendly in our dealings. LOCSPEC should be high on your list should you require any work in the Northern Illawarra.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how Locspec’s consultancy services save time, reduce costs, and set your project up for success—before the build begins
Why should I have to pay for pre-construction services?
Pre-construction is the most critical stage of any building project, as it provides the opportunity to identify and address potential issues before committing to construction.
Locspec’s pre-construction services go beyond providing a quote – we spend time with you, your designer, essential professionals, such as engineers, to ensure your project vision is completely understood. This structured approach minimises unexpected expenses and on-site changes—leading to a more confident, streamlined build where every detail is carefully considered for a satisfying and affordable outcome.
What kind of services does Locspec provide?
- Feasibility assessments to determine whether your ideas are practical and achievable for your site and budget
- Site surveys and coordination of engineering reports, soil testing, and geotechnical investigations
- Collaborating closely with your designer or architect to help shape your vision—starting from initial concept sketches through to detailed construction-ready plans
- Providing cost analysis and itemised proposals, including provisional allowances, trade input, and realistic market rates to ensure your project is financially informed before moving forward
I already have approved plans, why would I engage the Locspec Consultancy Service?
Even with approved plans, Locspec adds value by refining costs and clarifying your project’s exact needs before committing to a construction contract. Many builders rely on standard industry averages for quoting, which can overlook finer details. Locspec, however, reviews your selected materials and finishes, meets on-site with your design team, and ensures a thorough understanding of the project’s scope. This approach can uncover any hidden or additional preconstruction costs, preventing unpleasant surprises down the track. Ultimately, you benefit from a more accurate, transparent, and cost-effective quote tailored to your specific project.
Why should I use the Locspec Consultancy Service instead of just getting a builder’s quote?
A typical builder’s quote is based on finalised plans, which can cost thousands to produce and approve. By contrast, the Locspec Consultancy Service provides realistic budget guidelines early in the process using provisional designs, site visits, and decades of industry experience. This approach allows you to refine your design, helping prevent cost overruns, before committing to a design you can’t afford.
Does Locspec only build High Performance homes?
While most of our clients choose to build high-performance homes, Locspec can still build homes that don’t fall under that category. Even in these instances, we consistently build to exceed industry standards. Whether you’re after a high-performance build or something more conventional, our focus remains on quality, longevity, and craftsmanship.
