Paid As Consultant Process - The PAC Map

What's the PAC Process?

As a builder, chances are you're working on quotes for home designs that are totally over budget, and will never turn into jobs. And worst of all - you're doing this work for free, and it'll be taking up nights and weekends you should be enjoying yourself.

The PAC Process - or Paid As Consultant Process - is a proven method that enables you to:

  • work with clients through pre-construction
  • help shape the project for budget and buildability
  • AND get paid $$$ for your time and involvement

The PAC Process is the answer
to never having to do free quotes again.
And improving everything else in your business too.

WE'VE BEEN USING THIS SYSTEM OURSELVES FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO ADD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF $$$ TO OUR BOTTOM LINE ...
AND NOW WE'RE TEACHING OTHER BUILDERS HOW TO DO IT TOO.

Meet Duayne Pearce. Builder at D Pearce Constructions, Co-Founder of QuoteSpec + Co-Founder of Live Life Build.

As a builder with over 20 years in the industry, Duayne got fed up with doing a ridiculous number of quotes every year - for free - to only see a handful go through as secured projects.

Duayne has been crafting, testing and improving the PAC Process in his own successful construction business for several years now. And he's seen first hand how it's transformed his business - and his lifestyle.

Clients and designers now deliberately seek him out because of the PAC Process. He attracts a better calibre of client, and his subbies and suppliers love the process too. He is valued for the expertise he brings, and delivers projects more simply, efficiently and profitably.

Meet Amelia Lee. Architect, Founder of Undercover Architect + Co-Founder of Live Life Build.

Amelia has seen firsthand how the PAC Process can change the project experience for ALL involved, and help ensure the homeowner has a great project outcome - whilst managing their expectations.

She teaches homeowners to choose builders who use the PAC Process. It's a key part of helping them ensure their developing a design that they can afford to build.

And it enables homeowners to avoid the disaster many experience of wasted fees, time and energy on designs that are over budget, and drama-filled construction phases. And it sets up great team communication, manages project risk, and helps designers with the buildability of their work.

WE KNOW THE PAC PROCESS
IS A COMPLETE GAME-CHANGER.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE CREATED ...

THE PAC CHALLENGE

Across 4 modules, we teach you how to do the PAC Process, from start to finish, and get it implemented in your building business.

Step-by-step, we'll take you through it, and share templates, checklists and how-to's along the way. No guesswork - it's all laid out.

We'll also teach you how to navigate the objections ("but every builder quotes for free, don't they?!") and how to be sought out by clients instead.

And we'll set you up to sell the PAC Process as the best way for clients and designers to make their projects a reality. The ONLY way.

This is what you'll learn in the PAC Challenge

Here's what builders and homeowners have to say about
the PAC Process and the PAC Challenge

I've had a very pumped and positive afternoon, so much I rang Duayne to tell him.
My 1st meeting this afternoon the client agreed to the PAC Process for there project (to raise a workers cottage with an extension etc) $3,300.00 for the PAC Process.
Then my 2nd meeting was for a old Queenslander being relocated from Brisbane to Kin Kin (extension, renovation & restoration etc)
$4,400.00 for that PAC Process. As you could understand I was very pumped, so I just had to tell Duayne all about it !!!!!
But wait there's a kicker, I was only home half hr to receive a msg from a client I meet 2wks ago to book in another PAC Process for a custom design and build $3,300.00 for the PAC Process. Just quietly very happy.

(That's $11,000 going straight to his bottom line in one week).

Chris from Bartlett Constructions had this to say about what the PAC Challenge (and PAC Process) can do for other builders ...

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

Peter from Claridge Constructions, Victoria said he'd recommend the PAC Challenge to other builders, and tell them this ...

"It's an important step in learning to take better control of the business and sales process."

Neil from Neds Projects in New Zealand what he enjoyed most about the PAC Challenge was this.

"The authenticity - you speak from experience. Real-life examples. It is a big difference and advantage that you have over other builders business coaches."

"Engaging an experienced builder for the pre-construction services can change the design and build experience from one of frustration and disappointment, to one of clarity and ease.

We only work with clients who embrace the PAC Process and have saved each and every one of them well in excess of the small fee they spent.

It allows us to find and eliminate inefficiencies in the build and give live pricing feedback as the design evolves.

It’s the secret to us being able to provide truly accurate quotes that come in on budget."

- Toscano Constructions, Brisbane

“If my builder wants to charge me for his expertise and excellent advice, I’ll be very happy to pay him because I know the ROI will be huge. So excited to see you guys putting this solution out there …”

@offgridlivingfestival

“Would recommend all the way. Has been the smoothest process so far having our builder involved in the design process. We have received an early estimate which has helped us make design decisions.”

YOU CAN (AND SHOULD) GET PAID AS A CONSULTANT

BY USING OUR PROVEN 'PAID AS CONSULTANT [PAC] PROCESS'

Learn our proven PAC Process, and how to get paid as a consultant, stop doing free quotes, and improve your business overall.

The PAC Process is NOT ...

Charging for your 2 page quote letter

Or packaging up design + drafting, engineering, and other pre-construction services ... and charging the client a lump-sum fee (if you're doing that, you and your business are exposed to huge risk of liability)

Or any other gimmick you've seen thrown about as a way to charge for quotes (ways that are actually giving the industry a bad name and ripping clients off)

Instead, it's this ...

The PAC Process also provides a pathway for you to position yourself as the authority and expert in what you do and know. 

The PAC Process gives you the opportunity to differentiate yourself based on process, experience and customer care … not price.

And the PAC Process means you can set the rules and manage client expectations before you enter the intensive phase of construction, keeping your work pipeline flowing smoothly and efficiently.

Ultimately, this is about you - right from the start - working with clients that respect you, value your expertise, and trust you to do what you do best ...

... And that's building fantastic new homes and renovations that your clients love. And building a successful business (and enjoyable lifestyle) doing it.
