Your Building Broker was launched in 2010 to make sure those thinking of building their new home avoid the typical pitfalls generally associated with building a new home and home building companies.
Firstly, What is a Building Broker and what do Building Brokers do?
A building broker is a service designed to make building a new home simple. There are lots of services similar to ours that provide great benefits to clients.
Take for example a travel agent. They do the research on holiday destinations, work out a cost effective holiday program for you according to your budget then arrange everything making your life easier and your holiday a great adventure.
Your Building Broker is similar. We research and audit new home builders, create your ultimate custom home design according to your building budget then manage the tender process negotiating prices on your behalf. Ultimately we make building your new home a hassle free experience.
Like other kinds of brokers – (Mortgage Brokers and Insurance Brokers as an example) – Our fees are subsidized by the builders, making our services highly affordable with a low entry price. Because we use a tender system, each builder’s prices are transparent and highly competitive giving you the best priced option every time.
Who’s the team behind Your Building Broker?
Steve Fitzpatrick - Owner & Managing Director
Steve Fitzpatrick is the Owner and Managing Director of YBB and is passionate about helping others achieve the best new home building outcome possible.
His in-depth knowledge of building companies in Perth exists through his own personal experience from the days he was a trainee scheduler in 1991 working with JCorp (now split between the Buckeridge group of companies – BGC and the JWH Group of companies). Growing in his career he spent a number of years working with Gary Brown-Neaves from Webb and Brown-Neaves on the display home program in 1997-2000. In 2004 he began working with RiverStone in the luxury home building market and prior to launching Your Building Broker in 2010 was the General Manager of Platinum Homes from 2006-2010.
There’s a lot of confusion and uncertainty when people think of building. Making it easier to have the perfect house design and build with the ideal builder will always be our focus and it makes me proud to say our clients believe we’re doing just that. – Steve Fitzpatrick

Our Vision
YBB is committed to providing unbiased and comprehensive services to new home seekers through researched, accurate, knowledgeable advice and partnering with only the best building operators who are proven service-centric builders that deliver quality new homes in each market segment.
Our Experience
After working for many of the top residential building companies in Perth and discussing the confusion that surrounds building with over 200 clients the Managing Director of Your Building Broker decided it was time to provide a professional service to clients thinking of building their next home. Over 20 years of experience in home building we’ve heard lots of good and bad stories of peoples building experience.
Some stories show a lack of understanding by the client which is really a result in poor communication on behalf of the builder – a common complaint from a lot of clients. However some stories are fantastic and highlight the wonderful rewards that come from building your own home. It’s a focus on both of these outcomes that drove the Managing Director to create Your Building Broker.
Our Passion
Our passion comes from knowing how important home ownership is and beyond that, a driving passion for everyone to experience the personal satisfaction that comes from building their own home – to their individual taste, lifestyle, location and budget.
