    We found Locspec after our original builder pulled out at the very last minute. We were lucky that the timing aligned perfectly because Ryan and his team were an absolute dream from start to finish. Ryan’s attention to detail was outstanding and his flexibility and drive to help us achieve our vision was exceptional. He is a great guy who made what should have been (as I have been told) one of the most stressful life experiences, really enjoyable. Highly recommend!

    Locspec Building are amazing to work with. I’ve collaborated with Ryan and the team on projects in Gerringong, Jamberoo, Barrack Point and throughout the Illawarra and South Coast. Their pre-construction process is clear, professional and always focused on getting the best outcome for clients. Highly recommend them if you’re after a builder who genuinely cares about both detail and communication.

    We worked with Locspec during both the design and construction of our new home in Kiama Downs. Getting Ryan involved early in the pre-construction phase was a game-changer. We were able to make design adjustments that suited our family lifestyle while staying within budget. The consultancy service gave us clarity on costs and direction before we committed to plans. The finished product was beyond anything we expected—the attention to detail was incredible, and it’s now a home that truly reflects who we are as a family.

    Doing due diligence we engaged Locspec for a quote on the extension & renovation of our home...and what a great idea that was! Ryan arrived on time, friendly and professional from the get-go. The consultancy was 5 star - the quote detailed & trustworthy. The advice we received resulted in a quality home that we absolutely love. The Locspec team were a great bunch of guys and despite living in a construction zone, they kept the site as clean as they could! Ryan was always available whenever we needed...including in some unprecedented & poorly timed weather. When friends and family start talking new home - I refer them to Ryan.

    Ryan and the team at Locspec Building Services were a game-changer during the early stages of our build. Their consultancy service helped us align our design ideas with a realistic budget and timeline. As first-time home builders Kiama based, having a builder’s insight from day one saved us time and eliminated design issues before they became costly mistakes.

    We built with Locspec last year and can’t speak highly enough of Ryan. He managed our entire build with professionalism and care. Communication was constant and clear, and the final result was a high-quality custom home delivered on time. If you need reliable home builders Kiama based, reach out to Ryan and his team.

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.
Is Locspec Building Services licensed?
Yes. Locspec Building Services currently shows an active trade licence on SureQuote.
