    We highly recommend East Built. James and his team worked well with our architect Ben Wollen and delivered a quality dual occupancy for our family. We had not built before and relied on James’ experience and expertise. He made many practical suggestions which improved the outcome. We appreciated James’ calm nature, and he always had a solution to offer when communicating a problem. The build was completed on time, and James was always fair and transparent about costs. We feel very lucky to be living in a beautifully designed East Built house – thank you James and your team

    James and his team at Eastbuilt were nothing short of fantastic! They had a tight schedule to get our family into our home before Christmas and the arrival of our baby - and he delivered. James attention to detail is exactly what you expect and want from your builder. There were many items we hadn't thought of that James brought to our attention, as a result we have a home we love! Highly recommend James from Eastbuilt!

    East Built delivered an architecturally designed extension and renovation for us in 2020. True to the architect's vision, the team did a top quality job, on time and on budget. They had an eye for detail, were clear and honest communicators and true to their word. A reliable team to have onsite at 7am each day. I would highly recommend James and the East Built crew for your next build.

    James and his team did an internal renovation to our miners cottage in Thirroul, having been recommended by a few friends. He was incredibly helpful when we were planning the work (and patient as we had several changes) and delivered the job on time, on budget to a very high standard. We were really pleased and can't recommend East Built highly enough

    James is the most reliable, efficient and detail-driven builder I've come across. He worked on our flooring and bathroom tiling and did an excellent job. We are very happy.

    We’ve utilised EastBuilt several times over the last few years completing our flooring and skirting in our apartment and later renovating our bathroom, building a pergola and installing a retaining wall when we bought a house. James was professional, efficient and had highly competitive prices. His team are all highly capable, friendly and down to earth. EastBuilt are the only company we’ll use when building or renovating in the Illawarra.

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.
How do I get a quote from East Built?
