Building a significant home involves dozens of consultants, hundreds of decisions, and years of sustained attention. Every professional on your project — the architect, the engineer, the builder — is engaged by you, but ultimately accountable to their own interests, their own programme, and their own bottom line.
Most homeowners navigate this alone, relying on their architect to coordinate the engineer, the builder to manage subcontractors, and their own instincts to know when something isn't right. That is not enough.
Fair Copy exists to sit on your side of the table. We are entirely independent — we do not design, we do not build, we do not take commissions from any supplier or consultant. We work for one person: you.
"The homeowner is the only party in a construction project with no professional advocate. Fair Copy changes that."
Before Fair Copy, Hannah spent four years at Black Sheep Capital as an analyst and associate — sourcing investments, running due diligence, managing complex multi-party transactions with lawyers, accountants, co-investors and founders, and reporting to sophisticated stakeholders on portfolio performance. It's a world built on structured process, rigorous analysis, and the ability to manage long, high-stakes projects where the detail matters and the relationships are everything. Those are the same skills that define Fair Copy's service model.
Hannah holds a Master of Science in International Economics and Finance from the University of Queensland and a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Southern California. She has also been deeply involved in the design and delivery of her own recent home renovation — making decisions alongside architects and builders, navigating the same trade-offs and frustrations that every homeowner faces.
Steve is a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) in structural engineering with nearly twenty years' experience across high-rise commercial towers, multi-billion-dollar industrial infrastructure, and high-end residential architecture. He founded Rogue Engineering in 2022, delivering structural design for architecturally-driven residential projects with Brisbane's leading architects.
What this means for Fair Copy clients: when a builder presents a structural variation, Steve reads the engineering. When an architect's design creates a constructability challenge, Steve understands it at a technical level that a generalist project manager simply can't. When a complex site — steep slope, reactive soil, challenging retention, flood-prone land — needs someone who can assess the real cost and risk, Steve has done it hundreds of times.
Fair Copy is a family business. We are a husband-and-wife team, and that isn't a marketing angle — it's a genuine fit. You are building a home for your family. We share the same stake in getting it right.
