    We spent many months searching for the right builder to take on our little 100 year old farm cottage project. We were very fortunate to find Forte Building Group for our extension/renovation. Jock was very impressive from the first time we met him. We felt he was the right fit for our project from that first meeting. Jock and the team were very professional in all aspects of the build, our project looked easy on the plans, however when you're working with a 100 year old home, it soon became apparent that there was so much more involved. Jock handled the many complexities throughout the project in a professional manner and was able to sustain quality workmanship, from dealing with removing heavy hardwood beams, working with 5 metre high ceilings, rebuilding/restoring old brick fireplaces and underpinning to part of the house. His carpentry skills were certainly put to the test. Throughout all of this, Jock was happy to accommodate our requests, never gouged us with his pricing and dealt with our concerns in a very polite and respectful way. All of his tradespeople we found to be also very polite, diligent, experienced and always happy to communicate with us. It was by no means an easy project and Jock took on all the challenges the house presented with ease, certainty and loads of energy. We could not be happier with the finished project, and we have no hesitation in recommending Jock and the team at Forte Building.

Nothing was too difficult. We could tell Jock took great pride in his work, and the results really show it. We highly recommend Forte Building Group, and would certainly work with them again.

    Jock and his team are fantastic! From the initial quote of our remodelling and extension to the finish product, it’s hard to explain how easy they made this process. You know you’re dealing with good tradesman when there is immediate solutions to design flaws or last minute changes of mind. Foreman, Harry and the other crew (sorry boys I didn’t get your names) are quality tradesman. I was blown away with the eye for detail that has gone into this project; step by step there were no surprises as Jock is very transparent and communication is always his priority. I didn’t realise that my property would essentially nearly be a knock down rebuild, which was daunting initially but the whole process was very smooth. Jock only uses the best contractors for his projects and every single one of them are just good people with quality and expertise. Don’t look anywhere else. Cheers, Jock and the team.

    Forte Building Group did a magnificent job building our outdoor stairs. Jock and his team were very professional, and were able to prioritise the job so we could once again safely access our yard. I would highly recommend Forte Building Group, and we will be asking for their help again as we gradually fix our ageing home.

Frequently asked questions

How much do builders typically charge?
Builder costs vary widely depending on the job type and complexity. Minor repairs are generally much less than extensions, small builds or structural alterations that need foundations, framing or specialist input. Most quotes include a call‑out fee plus labour and materials, and the page shows live pricing to help you compare options.
Do builders charge call-out fees?
Call‑out fees are common and typically cover travel and an initial inspection or assessment. This fee is usually separate from hourly labour and materials, and after‑hours or weekend attendance often attracts higher rates. Ask whether a call‑out or minimum charge applies when requesting quotes.
Do builders need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Building work generally needs to be carried out by a licensed builder in every state and territory, and NSW builders are regulated by NSW Fair Trading. Builders should be able to provide their state builder/contractor licence number and show appropriate insurances and ABN/GST registration. In Victoria, domestic building insurance is required above a state threshold for certain contracts.
