    Seven months from demolition to practical completion. Unheard of these days. HDH have been professional right from our first contact with Peter Wakeman in designing our new home, through to construction and completion, under the watchful eye of Darcy Irvine and Patrick Heien, the Project Managers. The process has been effortless, with excellent communication and advice all the way through. The quality of workmanship and materials of the build has also been outstanding. We highly recommend HDH for your new home. They leave their competition floundering by the wayside.

    This is our third home build, and my husband and I are delighted with the support and guidance that Hunter Designer Homes have provided us, from early planning to final contract. We received personable attention on all aspects of the process, and guidance on building compliance and aesthetics. We appreciate the attention to detail throughout our planning journey and highly recommend the team at HDH. Our build was finished ahead of time, and we are so proud of our home. We are so pleased that that we chose Hunter Designer Homes and would urge anyone who wants quality and attention to detail to contact them. They were outstanding from Go to Whoa.

    My mother is currently building with Martin Project Homes. From what I have seen as a civil engineer, they have been supportive, knowledgeable, accommodating and practical, with the aim of constructing a premium build rather than a mass produced project home. I feel confident the end product will be a high end build. My mum is very happy with the process to date and in turn, I'm grateful to MPH for their effort and work.

    I visited the display home a couple of weeks ago and was impressed with the design, build and approach. Would recommend anyone who's built before and looking to build again to have a chat to Peter. Having built before you will appreciate the way they consult & price the project with all of the inclusions you'd expect upfront.

    Our first building experience was with a national project home builder. The result was a solid, yet unimagainatve house, and the experience as a customer was lacking. Experience is a great teacher. This time around we actively sought a builder we could relate to. As the planning and design progressed, we felt increasingly comfortable and trusting of the team at Hunter Designer Homes. The build is about to start – we are both excited and confident. 🙂 Update: 17 May 2020 --------------------- We have been in for a month and could not be happier.🙂 The only issues found have been trivial, and have been promptly attended to. Loving every day in the house! Sarah & Geoff, Billy’s Lookout, Teralba

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.
