    We were very fortunate to work with Watara Homes for our new build. Mitch, Dan and the team worked with us collaboratively from start to finish. We always felt that they valued our feedback and genuinely wanted us to love the house. They were professional, approachable, hardworking, responsive and transparent in their processes. Communication and attention to detail were excellent. We have also been impressed with their follow up after handover with addressing any minor adjustments that were required and fielding our questions. Ultimately, they have delivered us a beautiful home built to a high standard. We would highly recommend Watara Homes.

    We begun a large scale renovation of our beloved Mid-century home with excitement but also some trepidation. Our project included second storey addition, two new bathrooms, new kitchen, extension to living and bedroom spaces and extensive outdoor entertainment, new pool and entrance! Like most our standards are high and we felt confronted by the challenge of finding a builder that shared our vision and met our expectations for high quality finishes. We are very pleased to report our experience with Watara has been a wonderful one - resulting in an exceptional outcome. Our home feels like a work of art, the perfect balance of old and new. We can confirm that Mitch and his team share the standard of impeccable finishes we had hoped for. Working with Watara felt like a real partnership. Our input into the design and construction process was encouraged by Mitch throughout. The strong consultation, expert guidance and execution has certainly created an amazing end product that we are very proud of. Mitch should be complimented for his presence, patience and persistence to complete a high quality project in a difficult market. He demonstrated overcoming challenges as one of his greatest strengths. Supported by Hayley, incredible foreman Dan and other skilled tradespeople - Watara are a formidable team! We would have no hesitation in recommending Watara to anyone embarking on a renovation.

    We have no hesitation recommending Watara Homes. After a false start with another builder that left us especially wary, we were very pleased to have Watara take over the project. Our project was an extensive renovation and extension of a postwar home and we were delighted with the care and attention to detail given by Dan, Mitch and the whole team throughout this unique build. The quality of the result speaks for itself. Everyone at Watara and their sub-contractors were easy to communicate with. If you want a quality outcome built with care and a genuine commitment to quality, definitely consider Watara Homes!

    We couldn’t be happier with the experience of building our home with Watara. From start to finish, the team was professional, transparent, and a pleasure to deal with. The quality of the craftsmanship is absolutely outstanding – you can tell they take real pride in their work. What really impressed us was their attention to detail. Any issues were promptly rectified. The tradies on-site were friendly, hard-working, and highly skilled. Cheers to the team – you’ve done an amazing job!

    We had an extension done to our home - added a new lounge, bedroom for our daughter, new kitchen, new dining, new patio, new flooring and we could not be any happier with the results from Watara Homes. We are so happy we went with Watara Homes - the quality of the work and professionalism was excellent. Mitch and his team did a fantastic job. Not only that, they follow up with any items which may need to be rectified down the track should this arise. We just had our 6 month follow up with them and everything was attended to. Would definitely recommend.

    On time. On budget. Stress free. It's great to be able to write that after an 18 week renovation including three bathrooms, kitchen and - well the entire house actually. Mitch and the Watara team were fantastic. Professional, respectful and great attention to detail. Mitch and our architect Tomas O'Malley worked well together and their collaboration value-added to the project. We love living and entertaining in our 'new' home. I highly recommend Mitch.

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.
