    Working with Chris, Mike and team made our project all so straightforward even when we encountered bumps and problems (not of their making) along the way. Communication and coordination were outstanding, we always knew what was happening and when. Great value for money. The team were respectful and friendly and worked to a very high standard, taking attention to detail above and beyond in our opinion. Couldn't be happier with the result. Unreservedly recommend Whittaker Constructions for residential projects like ours.

    The guys at Chris Whittaker Constructions were great to deal with throughout the whole process. They were very professional, adaptable and accommodating to my needs. My project was quite a large one, with us doing other projects on the property at the same time, Whittakers were great with coordination and working with our trades and timelines. Highly recommend Chris and his team. I have used them twice on 2 different properties and would not hesitate to work on another project with them.

    Everyone knows that renovations involve a certain amount of disruption, but after choosing Chris Whittaker Constructions for our job we realised that it's actually all fairly simple. If a builder listens to the customer, and has a highly competent friendly and respectful team then they build trust very quickly. As a trusted partner, CWC did all work to a very high standard and were able to make great suggestions when questions arose. The whole process was satisfying from beginning to end. They did a high quality job, and we can recommend CWC without reservation. We already have a new project for them!

    Chris, Mike and the team recently renovated our workspace and we're so happy with how it turned out. The team was super friendly and easy to work with. They listened to what we needed, worked around our constraints and requirements, and pushed hard to get everything done on time—even with a tight deadline. They really went above and beyond. Great experience all around!

    Chris and his team did a fantastic job of alterations to our home to retrofit a lift. The final result looks like it has always been there. Everyone involved was a pleasure to work with. All the trades were polite and respectful of our home. They turned up when they said they would and kept us up to date with any delays (building was done during COVID). We would have no hesitation in recommending Chris Whittaker Constructions for any building work.

    Chris and Mike and their team managed to pull off the impossible - a major business renovation in 12 days including new walls, plumbing, electrical, new floors and all whilst dealing with asbestos removal. The end result is amazing and we are very pleased to have the business back up and running on time. Fabulous job and great people to work with. Honest, respectful and listened to our needs and timing constraints and did everything possible to make it all work.

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.
