New Build Concierge

Your Trusted Eyes on the Ground for New Construction

Building an investment property from afar shouldn’t mean compromising on quality, control, or peace of mind. Our New Build Concierge service is designed for discerning investors who want complete confidence when building interstate or overseas, ensuring your property is delivered to the highest standard, cared for at every stage, and primed for a seamless transition into tenancy.

Why You Need a New Build Concierge

Building remotely presents unique challenges that standard property management doesn’t address:

Distance from site makes regular inspections impossible

Builder communication gaps can delay important decisions

Defect identification requires experienced eyes at the right moments

Handover complexity often catches owners off-guard

Timing coordination between completion and tenancy is critical

Quality assurance needs someone advocating for your interests

Without professional oversight, small issues can become costly problems, handovers can be contentious, and the transition to tenancy can be delayed, impacting your investment returns from day one.

The Nest Connect Difference

With more than two decades of experience in Brisbane’s property landscape, our team brings specialised expertise in managing new-build assets. We understand the complexities, timelines, and small but significant details that define a successful handover.

Michelle’s extensive network of elite trades, construction professionals, and industry contacts means we know what to look for, when to look for it, and how to ensure your builder delivers on their commitments.

Our New Build Concierge Process

1

Lock-Up to Practical Completion

Site Liaison & Progress Monitoring
From lock-up stage through to completion, we act as your dedicated representative on the ground. We liaise directly with your builder, maintain rigorous oversight, and ensure every element meets expectations.

What We Monitor:

  • Construction progress against agreed timelines
  • Quality of workmanship and finishes
  • Compliance with specifications and contracts
  • Installation of fixtures, fittings, and appliances
  • Landscaping and external works completion
  • Identification of potential defects or concerns

Regular Communication:
You receive detailed progress updates with photographic evidence, keeping you informed every step of the way, even from thousands of kilometers away.

2

Pre-Handover Inspection
 

Meticulous Defect Assessment
Before you take possession, we conduct a comprehensive pre-handover inspection, capturing any defects or concerns with absolute clarity. Our experience means we identify issues that untrained eyes might miss.

Our Inspection Covers:

  • Structural elements and building envelope
  • Internal finishes, walls, ceilings, flooring, paintwork
  • Kitchen and bathroom fit-out quality
  • Doors, windows, locks, and hardware
  • Electrical fixtures, switches, and outlets
  • Plumbing fixtures and water pressure
  • HVAC systems and ventilation
  • External areas, driveways, and landscaping
  • Safety compliance and certification documentation

Detailed Defect Reporting:
Every item is documented with high-resolution photographs, precise descriptions, and reference to contract specifications. You receive a complete report that serves as your negotiation tool with the builder.

3

Builder Coordination & Defect Resolution

Professional Advocacy on Your Behalf
Should issues arise, and they often do with new builds, we coordinate with builders quickly and professionally, advocating on your behalf until resolutions are in place.

We Handle:

  • Defect notification and formal documentation
  • Follow-up meetings and site visits
  • Timeline negotiation for rectification works
  • Quality verification of completed repairs
  • Final sign-off and satisfaction confirmation

Your investment is protected at every step. We ensure builders honor their obligations without you needing to manage contentious conversations from afar.

Handover & Key Receipt
 

Seamless Property Transfer
Once all defects are resolved to our satisfaction, we coordinate the formal handover process. Keys are received, final documentation is verified, and your property is ready for the next phase.

Handover Coordination:

  • Final walkthrough and condition verification
  • Collection of all keys, remotes, and access cards
  • Receipt of warranties, manuals, and compliance certificates
  • Utility connection verification
  • Security system setup and testing
  • Property photography for marketing materials
5

Marketing & Tenant Placement

Strategic Leasing for Premium Returns
Once keys are received, our service continues with a strategic marketing and leasing plan tailored to attract premium tenants. Our reputation in Brisbane's prestige rental market means we connect with high-calibre applicants quickly.

Our Leasing Approach:

  • Professional property styling and presentation advice
  • Premium listing across targeted platforms
  • High-quality photography and marketing materials
  • Rigorous tenant screening and selection
  • Lease negotiation for optimal terms
  • Seamless move-in coordination

Results That Matter:
Many of our properties secure high-quality applicants within days of completion, ensuring a smooth and timely start to your investment journey. Our low vacancy rates mean your property begins generating returns immediately.
