    Given our proximity to the sea, our house is a land-based, immobile yacht. So, whilst we are very fortunate to have a magnificent coastal position, we have needed the skilled and experienced builder Chris Spillane and his Oak Building & Construction team to identify and rectify our 20-year-old home’s numerous maintenance, and improvement challenges. Many small and big projects have been successfully executed, from a complete kitchen rebuild, to a new garage door, a roof refit and the repainting of the exterior and interior. Thanks to Chris our home is now more than ready for the decades ahead.

    Choosing a builder is a hard task. I thank the reviews here for leading me to Chris and the team at Oak. We trusted Chris and Team Oak with our bathroom renovation which we needed to have completed within a very tight time frame just before Christmas. The guys did an excellent job and came in under budget and ahead of time!!! I have worked with a lot of builders and this almost never happens. Chris was an excellent communicator and I felt in very good hands all the way through. We will be using Oak again and again and I will be recommending them to friends and family, as well as to you, fellow internet review reader!

    Not the standard building project for me but Team Oak still knocked it out of the ball park. We bought Chris in to build a high end restaurant where fine finishes and details are critical to the overall feel and experience, not only did they excel but even helped elevate the space when the building or equipment through in some surprises. The team were also considerate of our space and did not damage or mess up anything while they were working - a rare experience for me. We certainly appreciated the fast and quality work that went into the restaurant.

    If you’re weighing up whether to hire Chris and his team vs another construction company, seriously look no further. Amidst a busy schedule Chris very kindly agreed to re-build part of our house that had been burnt in a house fire (unfortunately caused by a 3rd party, whilst my wife was in her third trimester). Not only was the rebuild expertly planned and executed in a very short period of time, but Chris invested so much time sharing his insights about being a Dad, and showed so much compassion for our situation. His team are just as friendly as he is, and I believe most of them, if not all, have won awards in their own right, for being at the top of their game as tradesmen. I’m so glad we got to cross paths with Chris and his team at Oak, and highly recommend you choose them for your next building project.

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.
