Overview

What began as a dream project on the Melbourne’s Peninsula quickly unravelled when a volume builder collapsed before construction even began, leaving the client stranded, plans incomplete, and confidence shaken. Goodform was brought in, not to start fresh, but to recover what mattered. We stepped into the complexity, realigning scope, stabilising risk, and restoring the integrity of the vision with clarity and care. From stalled paperwork to reclaimed deposits, this wasn’t just a build, it was a reset that returned control to the client and safeguarded the future they’d worked for.

Results

Goodform was engaged when the project was in limbo, halted at pre-construction, lacking permits, and burdened by incomplete documentation. The original design, once ambitious, no longer aligned with site conditions, budget, or compliance. The client didn’t need another builder, they needed a recovery operator who could re-establish control, align vision with constructability, and navigate the legal and financial fallout of a builder collapse. The recovery process rebuilt the pre-construction foundation, re-engaged consultants with focused direction, and delivered a viable, fixed-cost pathway marked by clarity, structure, and accountability. The results restored more than just momentum. The project was completed to a higher standard than originally scoped, with budget certainty and compliance fully aligned. Deposit funds were partially recovered, reducing the financial impact of the collapse. Most importantly, the client regained control and were shielded from predatory re-pricing, rushed procurement, or compromised outcomes. A future once derailed was brought back into focus, built on confidence, transparency, and trust in the process.
