from the first design meeting, your builder is on the journey with you
The biggest source of aggravation, errors and budget blowouts on any building site is miscommunication between the architect and the builder.
Aligned builders join the project at the same time as the architect, rather than coming onto the project after the plans are made. They work alongside you and the architect through the design process to create the BuildPrint, and gain a deep understanding of your ideas, priorities and requirements long before the slab is poured.
You can, of course, choose to use a builder of your choice. But if you trust your home to an Aligned builder you can be sure of exceptional craftsmanship, a smooth construction experience, and a fixed-price building contract.
fixed-price contracts, exceptional craftmanship and industry-beating warranties
Aligned builders are independent building professionals that have completed the Aligned builder process. Candidates must meet safety, customer experience, quality control and financial security requirements.
Once accredited, our builders are required to offer a number of guarantees, including a guaranteed fixed-price building contract and a fixed delivery schedule.
They must meet quality assurance standards, provide weekly client communication, use transparent pricing and offer a 10-year structural warranty (the industry standard is seven years) and a 12-month defect liability period (the industry standard is six months).

Align and Aligned builders are committed to sustainable, low-impact construction. We believe in building for the future of our precious planet and we design and build with sustainable, low-impact, locally sourced, recycled and long-lasting materials and methods wherever possible.
Through our Tree+House Project we are working toward our goal of building 100% carbon-positive homes. For every home designed and built with Align, we plant 650 trees to offset the carbon emissions associated with construction. We aim to plant one million trees by 2050.
