    We approached Matt Cates at 4Life Constructions for a renovation to our existing house with an attached new build, & couldn’t recommend anybody more highly. From the initial meeting all the way to handover we felt at ease because Matt knew exactly what we wanted & had exceptional communication with us in all aspects of the build. Matt was a great advocate for us when we couldn’t be there to do something ourselves & his expectations from suppliers for quality & finishes meant we have ended up with the house of our dreams. Matt’s quote was more than reasonable & any variations due to our changing of mind were made clear. The 4Life team were amazing the whole way through the build too, they were kind, respectful, talented & extremely tidy - always leaving the work site spotless. It was actually a sad day when they packed their tools up at the end of the build. If we were to build again, it would be with Matt Cates & his team at 4Life Constructions, simply because there was never a moment of disappointment. The most heartfelt thank you L & S Hartley - Inman Valley

    We approached Matt Cates at 4Life Constructions for a quotation to build an outside entertaining area as an attachment to our house in Encounter Bay. Matt had been recommended to us by neighbours. The construction by Matt and his team was fantastic. He designed the build to complement the gabled structure and colour of the existing house. His attention to detail plus his exceptional construction skills was first class. He managed his team well, a group of young, enthusiastic and competent tradesmen. Matt also coordinated the work of other contractors, including electricians, painters and paving contractors. At the completion of the job, his fee was exactly as he quoted. No variations. Apart from his actual work, Matt is a very personable and professional man who is a pleasure to deal with. I commend him to any potential client. Jeff and Judy Barnes Encounter bay

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 4Life Constructions have a verified ABN?
Yes. 4Life Constructions has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
