    We engaged M.R. Baker to undertake a major renovation project for our Queenslander home in Camp Hill. The scope of the project included raising and building in underneath (garage, bedrooms, rumpus, storage (lots of storage), and laundry), significant upstairs interior works to make the living space more open and useable, along with external works that included an in-ground pool, fencing, tiling, and drainage works. Michael and his team were very engaging from start to finish. Michael was able to translate what we wanted to achieve from the renovation into a set of plans and a project budget that gave us confidence that he was the right choice. His team were always communicating with us and we were given plenty of notice when key decisions needed to be made. As the renovation progressed we realised we wanted to make changes - these changes and their impact on project timeline and cost were always clearly articulated by Michael’s team. What was obvious to us from almost the first day, was Michael and his team have a laser focus on quality workmanship - their attention to the smallest details and expectations of quality from every tradesperson involved was obvious. We are extremely happy with the end result. The beautiful timber floors, the new functional spaces, the super new kitchen - all this made us happy we chose M.R. Baker. We were very happy to see the project delivered on time and to the agreed budget. If you are looking for a quality builder who has a set of reliable tradespeople on hand, someone to bring your building or renovation dream to reality - we highly recommend M.R. Baker.

    Our amazing home is the result of the planning, professionalism and highest standard of workmanship of Michael and the MR Baker Team. This is the third time we have used MR Baker for a major renovation project. It’s rare to see a builder with such attention to detail, this is reflected in the quality product they produce. From start to finish, the team were exceptional, communicating progress and timelines, choices of options, and more importantly great advice. The team’s approach made it an enjoyable experience overall. We actually missed them when they left! We have been so impressed, we recommended them to family who were renovating, they too are about to use them for the second time.

    We have the most beautiful kitchen and laundry, thank you M.R. Baker! It was a smooth and easy process from planning stage to completion. Michael and team did an incredible job, they were professional, respectful, honest and reliable. The eye for detail and practicality was second to none. The team caused minimal interruption and even set up a temporary kitchen for us without asking. Michael employs only the best and we give thanks to our team of Craig, Josh and Ben who were very skillful and efficient. The subcontractors when needed were second to none and chosen very carefully. Thank you to Justin and Michael for the open and honest pricing and the continual updates. I can not recommend M.R. Baker highly enough, we were almost sad to see them go! You have all made us very happy. Cheers Helen

    Michael and his team at M.R. Baker were great from the very start of our renovation of an 1920s QLDer. Easy to deal with, proactive in identifying and resolving issues and hard working to maintain the build schedule. High quality work which we are very happy with. Would recommend to anyone and the quality of the work was obviously evident to our neighbours who also engaged M.R. Baker following the completion of ours.

    Michael and his MR Baker team have completed two major projects for us - a new build in 2011 and a major renovation on another property in 2018. Both have been carried very professionally and completed to our total satisfaction. Additionally, we have had MR Baker undertake a number of smaller jobs, again each completed on time and with excellent workmanship.

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.
