    Forrest Building Co recently completed a renovation on our home in Leanyer and we are so impressed with the result. From start to finish the team were professional, reliable and easy to communicate with. They kept us informed throughout the process and were always willing to answer questions or offer advice when we needed it. The workmanship and attention to detail is excellent, and the finished space has exceeded our expectations. We’ve had so many compliments already and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Forrest Building Co to anyone looking for quality work and a stress-free experience.

    Highly recommend for residential renovations. It's difficult finding builders wanting to do mid to large sized residential renovations in Darwin, Forrest were amazing. Roof extension, concreting, re-tiling the whole house, kitchen, and bathroom. They did an amazing job. Everything ran on time and to schedule, they said 3 months and it was done within 3 months. Any minor defects were fixed or remedied immediately, I didn't have to chase them down.

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.
