You're doing the work.
It's time you got paid for it.
Sound familiar?
- You’re quoting job after job and pouring in hours of time for clients who ghost you when the price doesn’t match their Pinterest board.
- You're getting looped into projects too late to have any real impact or control.
- You’re giving away your experience, ideas and advice for free… and losing weekends doing it.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
There’s a better way to win work, get paid, and enjoy the pre-construction phase.
And it starts with one simple shift: Charge for your expertise. Deliver more value. Win better clients.
The PAC Process
changes everything
The PAC (Paid As Consultant) Process is a proven way to:
- Get paid to work with clients during the early stages of a project.
- Help shape the design and budget before it’s too late.
- Be seen as a trusted advisor, not just a builder with a price.
Instead of quoting blind for free, you’ll lead your clients through a professional, structured and valuable pre-construction process.
It’s better for you.
Better for the client.
Better for the project.

The PAC Challenge is designed to be put into action immediately.
The first time you use it, you’ve paid for the course. Everything after that is profit, time saved, and stress avoided.
PAC works because it flips the script.
You’re no longer the one everyone’s calling for a “quick quote”.
You’re a professional, brought in early to add value, reduce risk and lead the process.
Builders using PAC:
- Add new income to their business before construction even starts
- Develop a long-term pipeline of great and profitable projects with their ideal clients (we have builders booked out for 3+ years)
- Avoid wasting time with tyre-kickers or squeezing margins to meet unrealistic budget expectations (and avoid the time-wasters)
- Deliver smoother projects with fewer budget blowouts, setting up their business success long-term
The PAC Challenge is for you if…
- You’re sick of quoting for free and hoping for the best
- You’re ready to stop wasting time and start building real relationships
- You want to work smarter AND make more money doing it
If you want to keep doing what every other builder is doing, this isn’t for you.
But if you want to take control of your business and build a better way to work - the PAC Challenge will show you how.
The PAC Process gives you the opportunity to differentiate yourself based on process, experience and customer care… not price.

Client success stories
The PAC Process has changed our business. It’s absolutely flipped it upside down. I can’t believe we never used to do this!
Darryn Backman
In our first PAC Process sales meeting we were one of three builders interviewed and we were hired on the spot. They loved the agenda. It’s a big project with lots of potential risk, so using the PAC Process makes us feel way more comfortable.

It will change your life moving forward. This is the way of the future, collaborating together. Everybody is getting paid for their time and packing their clients full of value and confidence before embarking on construction of their home.

Thanks to implementing the PAC Process, in my first week using it I had three clients agree to use the process. That’s $11,000 onto my bottom line in just a week!

FAQ's
You get lifetime access to all the lessons, templates and tools, so you can learn at your own pace and come back to it whenever you need.
That’s completely up to you and depends on what you choose to include in your PAC Agreement. We’ve seen builders charge anywhere from $500 to over $5,000 and clients are happy to pay it when they understand the value.
Even Duayne started small. Over time, D Pearce Constructions gradually increased their PAC fee as they refined their process and built client trust.
The reality is that the PAC Challenge can pay for itself with the very first PAC Agreement you lock in.
If you’re a custom residential builder who’s tired of quoting for free, yes. Whether you’re solo or have a team, the PAC Process can be adapted to suit your size, location and project type.
