    Steve and the General Building Co. Team, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you all for the incredible work you did on our patio. After the cyclone hit the Gold Coast in March, we reached out to five companies to assess the damage and offer solutions for repairs. Unfortunately, only two companies showed up, and one was two days late. However, Steve, you and your team were different. You arrived exactly when you said you would, and your professionalism and expertise were evident from the start. You not only provided a solution to fix our patio, but you also turned a stressful situation into a smooth and enjoyable experience. Watching our patio go from damaged to fully restored was truly a relief, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you, Steve, for your dedication and for making this process so seamless. We will definitely be calling you and your team again to remodel our bathrooms. Thanks again to General Building Co. for everything you’ve done for us – we truly appreciate it! Best regards, Darren

    General Building Co is a highly professional team. They have completed two projects for us and both experience were professional and seamless. Steve provided his professional advice on the most effective approach both functionally and financially. Then his team provided the work schedules in advance and worked our way through with constant communication/updates. We had number of teams (demo, installer, electrician, painter and renderer) working on our projects and they were all very professional, seamless and good communicators. I would be happy to work with General Building Co on our next renovation.

    Flawless experience with General Building Co. They were the only company that we contacted (out of 6) that were able to provide a quote and have the decency to reply in a timely manner. Work quality was far superior to other contractors the insurance had in, the staff were extremely professional and kind. They communicated with us the whole way through. Without even needing to ask they removed tasks from the invoice at the end that the didn't end up needing to complete to reduce cost. Do yourself a favour and don't go anywhere else!

    I have zero regrets about using General Building Co. for my recent deck install. Steve was quick to arrive and thorough in his quotation which made me feel confident with my decision to use their services. Adrian and Elliot came to do the Sliding door install and build the deck. The guys were respectful, tidy and genuinely a joy to have here. Their work is immaculate and I am thrilled with the final product. I would highly recommend Steve and his crew if you need a Builder. I can't wait to start my next reno project so I can book them again. Thank you Steve, Adrian and Elliot for a job well done.

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.
Does General Building Co. have a verified ABN?
Yes. General Building Co. has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
