    We loved working with Jacki, Rob, and their team. We trusted them from the very first conversation and have done so throughout the whole build. We had confidence in their trades, processes and management. We initially considered an extension but after consideration of the costs realised a Pod was a much better idea for us. Particularly in lockdown, it has given us the space for our family to spread out, but also come together. It is a beautiful, light filled space and we love spending time in it. We had considered other builders too, but didn't feel we'd get the same quality or have the same professional and respectful relationship. We'd highly recommend the product and the people.

    We worked with The Pod to build a luxury secondary residence for our Mum to live in. Jacki and Rob were great to work with, very responsive to our needs and kept us updated along the way. Our mum is so happy with the finished product, the design and finishes are top notch, there's heaps of room and she's very comfortable in her new home.

    I've found the Pod Canberra to be interested and engaged in my requirements and very helpful all throughout the early stages of the sales process. Definitely was worthwhile touching base with them.

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.
