As a ‘Design & Build Coach’, I can help you answer the questions (big or small)
so that you are armed with the support you need.

Welcome to

I help people build the home or development they want, from inception to completion, with confidence.

I’m here to help with clarity BEFORE you build or to problem solve during the Design and Build Phase.

Together we can be playful in the design and style you LOVE while still wanting to LIVE sustainably in a home that’s kinder to the environment.

Build the Home for your Future

“I love a good problem because there is always FUN in finding the SOLUTION!”

Whether you want to renovate and extend your home, knock it down and start again or turn your development hobby into something more, the RIGHT information goes a long way.

We can work together in a one-on-one or small group coaching setting to help you stay on budget, find the right path and source the perfect partners.

Whatever it takes to help turn your home from dream to reality.

I can help you in a more personal and connected way by coaching you through the design and build process to achieve a great result.

Well Hello

I’m Kribashini (here with Rory), a Design and Building Coach.

I never take for granted that being included in someone’s build is special. The decisions I will help you make will shape your home, your memories and the experiences that you’ll share with your loved ones. That’s a pretty big deal.

As a qualified Project Manager and Building Scientist I have worked as a building professional for 16 years. I love working on building feasibilities for commercial buildings, reviewing business cases and taking the lead on the project management, from scoping & design, to handing the keys over to a happy client or tenant.

I co-founded BuildHer Collective, an online company that helps women build, and had the pleasure of mentoring hundreds of women during their home builds and development projects.

Now I’m able to help you do the same, regardless of where you are at in your build journey.

There’s a solution to EVERY problem.

  • Budget build

    Budget

    When the home you want and the budget you have are seemingly incompatible we can find the right places to compromise to make it work.

  • design build

    Design

    Building or renovating a home is a big deal, you want to feel confident that the design you have created is right for you and your family.

  • feasibility assessment

    Feasibility

    You know that building for profit is what you want to do but you need help understanding the sums and ways to assess a project from the outset.

  • sustainably build

    Sustainability

    You want the home you build to support the values you believe in. We can work together to create a home that is kind to the environment.

Kind words from some of the people I have helped:

  • Yolanda

    Kribashini has a wealth of experience in commercial and residential Project Management. I would recomend her to anyone looking for an experienced professional to guide you through your building project.

  • Anita

    Just as you would engage an Archiect or a builder, investing in someone who understands project management is key to the success of any build. Kribashini not only brings this but with great passion and experience. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I have witnessed how her positive approach has an impact on people and their progress.

  • Jodie

    Kribashini’s help with budgeting was invaluable. We drilled right down in the detail- even calculating how many bricks I’d need! This process ensured I allowed sufficient budget for everything and gave me so much confidence when tendering out the build.

  • Danielle

    Thank you for all you did for me at BuildHer. We wouldn’t have the beautiful home we do without the course and your incredibly valuable input.

  • Donna

    I’m really grateful for your advice,at so many key moments along the way it was pivotal and led to a better outcome. I can’t thank you enough!

  • Corinna

    Kribashini is a wealth of knowledge and so generous with sharing those valuable insights. You have a beautiful way of explaining things without making me feel stupid for not knowing. Kribashini is so supportive an absolute pleasure to engage with.

  • Jess

    I had the absolute privilege of being mentored by Kribashini as I began my journey in property renovation and development. I will always be so grateful for the opportunity to work with her as she was so encouraging, supportive and enthusiastic about my idea. I look forward and hope to soak up some of her wisdom around sustainability and all things design!

  • Justine

    Kribashini took the time to go through my entire build quote and pointed out items that were missing or that I should ask the builder about. Her wealth of knowledge about the tiny details that I had no idea about made me feel prepared, confident and validated in my choice of builder.
