    Jade and the team from Quick Dig did an amazing job on our new fence including retaining wall in a very tight space. They also transformed our old Bali Hut into a modern stylish Gazebo. All credit to the team for their hard work in the tropical heat, always being positive and resulting in a beautiful outdoor space. We also needed help with an existing drainage problem that no one could solve for years, resulting in our backyard flooding. Jade investigated and was able to fix it! We are absolutely thrilled with all the work, and Quick Dig will be our go to for any future outdoor projects. From the very first quote to completion Jade and his team were professional, always responsive and reliable. If you need someone to manage and complete your outdoor project Quick Dig are your team!

    QuickDig were very professional and extremely responsive from quote to install of my Colorbond fence. The boys did a fantastic job despite some challenges and I’m very happy with the finished product. Everyone I showed photos too have said what a great job they did. Jayane was great with any questions and concerns I had along the way. Thank you.

    For our new home build we needed two retaining walls put in and after looking at a few local companies around Cairns we decided to give Quickdig a buzz and I am incredibly glad we did. Jade and Janaye have been amazing through every stage of the project and have taken away all of the stress we had about it. Very impressed with their professionalism, honesty, quote transparency and keeping to timelines. The walls look fantastic! Great work Jade 👌

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 QuickDig have a verified ABN?
Yes. QuickDig has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
