    Thank you to Justin from Design to Live. He was able to work from my brief and address my design concerns and requirements. Viewing the actual building site gave him a better understanding of my expectations and his professional input clarified what could actually be achieved within my budget requirements and council concerns, etc.

    Cannot recommend Design to Live highly enough. From the outset they were professional and helpful with no request ever dismissed without careful explanation and alternative offered. Mitch and his team, in particular Justin, took the stress of extending and renovating our residence away and made it a highly enjoyable exercise.

    I cant speak highly enough of Mitch and the team at Design to Live. Mitch was extremely professional. Listened to to my ideas, took notes and designed the house to exactly what my wife and I wanted. They also assisted in engineering, energy efficiency and soil testing. They are your one stop shop! A big thank you to the whole 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.
