Identifying problems before they become big

From Tradition to Innovation:
The Right Box Story

Born into a family of builders, Dominique Jean grew up understanding construction from the ground up. While following in family footsteps, he developed something distinct: a relentless desire to master his craft and elevate the entire building process. This pursuit led him from his homeland to Switzerland, where 25 years of immersion in high-quality techniques refined his approach, followed by three transformative years in Australia that added crucial adaptability to his skillset.

The Right Box emerged from a simple yet powerful insight: when everyone involved in a project — from investors to builders to eventual homeowners — is treated as a valued partner, quality naturally follows. This philosophy stands in stark contrast to the industry norm where "money is the only thing that matters." Instead, The Right Box prioritises the satisfaction of everyone involved, creating an environment where excellence thrives.

While The Right Box may be new to the Sunshine Coast, behind its name stands decades of experience and a carefully selected network of quality professionals. Our systematic approach optimises the three critical elements of any successful project: time, quality, and expenses. By providing clear guidelines to each stakeholder at precisely the right moment, we prevent issues before they arise, saving valuable time and resources while ensuring superior outcomes.

What truly sets us apart is our position of neutrality. By remaining independent from owners, builders, investors, and buyers, we gain a comprehensive perspective that allows us to identify both problems and opportunities others might miss. This unique vantage point enables us to coordinate solutions that benefit everyone, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards — creating exceptional value for investors, reliable partnerships for builders, and quality homes for buyers.

How we helped our client Craig Davison take back control

After a major management problem with the developer that Craig had hired to build 47 units on his property, he decided to assemble his own team of professionals to fix all the flaws and problems that were only getting worse.

When Craig asked me to join this new team, based on my experience and quick analysis at the time, I knew that this project was going to be a big challenge! But I also saw Craig's distress, as he was in a very delicate situation with the investors who had placed their trust in him.

In four weeks, I identified all the issues and found solutions to get the project back on track. Together, we completed the project in 10 months, while the previous developer hadn't even reached the halfway point in a year and a half.

"Dominique was heavily involved in the managing of trades and basically working with me and the site manager on every aspect of the project. We managed to finally complete the project and settled all homes purchased by January 2023 and I have to commend Dominique for his input throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending Dominique for a role of project and or site manager based on my experience working with him over time."

Our values

  • At The Right Box, precision defines everything we do.

    We apply rigorous planning, meticulous organisation, and systematic management to every construction project. Our analytical approach eliminates uncertainties that typically plague construction timelines and budgets.

    We set exacting standards for ourselves and our partners, ensuring superior outcomes through methodical processes, detailed documentation, and continuous quality assurance.

    This commitment to excellence delivers the predictable returns investors seek, the efficient execution builders need, and the quality assurance homebuyers deserve.

  • Our unique strength lies in our neutral position serving all stakeholders with complete transparency. We maintain professional independence, ensuring decisions benefit every party involved rather than favouring one interest over another.

    This balanced approach allows us to communicate honestly with investors about returns, collaborate respectfully with builders on execution, and provide homebuyers with reliable quality verification.

    By documenting every stage of the construction process and maintaining clear lines of communication, we create trust through visibility and accountability.

  • We believe that identifying and resolving issues before they become costly problems is fundamental to construction success. Our constant drive to move forward means systematically anticipating challenges and implementing solutions before they impact timelines, budgets, or quality.

    This preventative mindset eliminates the reactive firefighting that typically erodes project margins and stakeholder confidence. Through early identification of potential obstacles and systematic risk assessment, we create smoother project delivery paths that benefit everyone involved.

  • We approach every relationship with genuine respect, active listening, and unwavering commitment. We dedicate ourselves to understanding each stakeholder's expectations and objectives, then applying our construction expertise to help achieve them.

    Our dedication extends beyond mere service provision — we become invested partners in each project's success.

    Through consistent follow-through, professional communication, and genuine dedication to optimal outcomes, we transform traditional adversarial construction relationships into collaborative partnerships that deliver superior results for all involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My job is to optimise the three major phases of a project: time, quality, and expenses.

    If one of these phases is altered, there will definitely be an impact on the others. Having a detailed action plan before launching a project is essential.

  • Quite simply because I work for the benefit of everyone: owners, builders, clients, investors.

    If everyone has the right guidelines at the right time, it saves time, which has become very expensive these days!

  • First of all, there are three possible scenarios:

    • Before the start of a project, which is the most sensible and reasonable option, as it provides an excellent control/cost ratio.

    • At the start of a project, when the first errors show that they are difficult to correct quickly.

    • or unfortunately, when a project is well underway and the accumulation of errors has led to multiple problems and expenses that could have been avoided.

    In all three cases, my action remains the same:

    I will analyse and identify the problematic elements in order to correct them by providing guidelines to each sector concerned.

    This will ultimately eliminate all problems and enable us to achieve our common goal.

    The only difference for me is the intensity of my analysis in relation to the three cases mentioned.

  • The quality of my services offers project transparency, which allows us to maintain optimal control and avoid costly surprises.

  • Being part of the project but remaining neutral towards the owner, builder, investors, and clients gives me a different perspective on the whole picture, which allows me to identify errors but also find opportunities to move the project forward in the best possible way.

  • I was born in the construction industry, and throughout my career I have been able to accumulate the responsibilities and experience required to understand every level and stage of a project, large or small.

    One thing is certain: if you turn a blind eye to a small problem at the outset, you will end up with a bigger, more costly problem later.

  • It's very well known! Someone who has been doing the same job for years knows their job inside out.

    But they can't take the necessary step back to improve their performance while simplifying their efforts.

    My analysis examines all possibilities and opportunities at all levels, and when I find a key element, that procedure can be improved.
