    Lachie and Ben have undertaken numerous jobs on our Queenslander including some very tricky replacement of rotten weatherboards prior to repainting. New deck and new staircases have also been attended to. All in a timely manner, at a reasonable price and with exceptional workmanship. Their enthusiasm and clear desire to do a great job are refreshing. We are so pleased with the work they have completed and will use them again in the future for further upgrades.

    We had a fantastic experience with Ruthven Constructions from start to finish. The team was professional, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the entire project. The workmanship was of an extremely high standard, with great attention to detail and a genuine commitment to quality. Deadlines were met, the site was kept tidy, and any questions or changes were handled promptly and honestly. We couldn’t be happier with the final result and would highly recommend Ruthven Constructions to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled building company.

    I hired the Ruthven Constructions team to replace the staircases on my Queenslander. Throughout the whole process from quoting to completion their communication was outstanding and their attitude was very professional. The work they performed showed great attention to detail and it is obvious that they care about doing the job thoroughly. I am very happy with the results of their work and I can’t thank Lachie, Ben & Mitch enough. I highly recommend the Ruthven 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.
