What Is a Selections Consultant?
The Internal Selections Consultation is a dedicated meeting between you and your Selections Consultant to review your choices for all internal finishes — including flooring, paint, cabinetry, appliances, lighting, fixtures, and more.
This consultation is your opportunity to confirm that your Internal Selections are complete, consistent with your design intent, and ready to be finalised for pricing, approvals, and ordering.
What Happens During the Consultation?
In this session, you and your consultant will:
- Walk through each internal category in your Selections Tool
- Review your selected products, finishes, and installation preferences
- Confirm whether all required rooms and fixtures have been addressed
- Discuss any missing, custom, or unclear items
- Clarify next steps to finalise and export the Internal Selections Schedule
Depending on the state of your selections, the consultation may serve as a detailed review or a collaborative working session.
Tip: Getting the Most Out of the Consultation
To make your session productive:
- Share your latest Internal Selections or tool access ahead of time
- Flag any categories you're unsure about or need help with
- Be ready to explain custom product choices or installation notes
- Prepare links, spec sheets, or samples for anything not in the Build Buddy library
This session helps make sure your internal finishes are not only beautiful — but also practical and clearly documented.
What Makes a Good Consultation?
- All internal selections are reviewed and confirmed or revised
- Custom items are supported by full documentation
- Any inconsistencies are resolved before they become site issues
- You and your consultant are aligned on the next steps and timeline
- You leave the meeting confident your Internal Selections are on track
A strong consultation now reduces surprises later and keeps your build on schedule.
Before You Begin: What You’ll Need Ready
To book your Internal Selections Consultation, have the following prepared:

Then contact your Selections Consultant to arrange a time that suits you both.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the consultation take?
Usually 45–60 minutes, depending on how complete your Internal Selections are and how many custom items need review.
