    Over the last 15 months, we have engaged APC Build to renovate our derelict weatherboard house. Derelict is a kind word for the dwelling which was in a heritage area and could not be demolished. It required extensive renovation and rebuilding from the foundations up: no mean task to be undertaken by any construction company. We engaged Peter Lo Bartolo who is the director of APC build and who leads a team of experienced tradesmen ably led by Paul Bianchi, head foreman and other experienced fellow tradespeople. They have managed to transform the rundown building into a wonderful home which we currently live in and in addition they completed the work on schedule. During the construction, numerous changes were required such as re-stumping, straightening up the timber frame which was leaning about 10cm off the vertical and many other additional changes to the outside weatherboard structures. As we progressed, we requested additional improvements including changing the engineered floor boards to solid Tasmanian oak and also installing in-slab hydronic heating to mention just a few. The increased costs of these improvements were met with additional quotes which were labelled as 'variations' and we were happy to meet these costs for a much improved end product. The result is that we have a beautiful three bedroom home which includes a rear extension that includes a large living area and 2 bedrooms upstairs. To their credit, APC Build have mastered a miraculous transformation of the original weatherboard house into a homely residence and we are thankful to the entire APC Build crew for the professional manner in which they embraced our project and offer our congratulations for their well deserved HIA award.

    APC Build’s trades, site supervisors and management were a pleasure to work with and combine to create a great project outcome for us as Architect and for our clients. In trying times over 2021/2022, with supply and trade scarcity, the APC team’s persistence, and dedication to delivering high quality detail was outstanding. We commend APC Build for their commitment to our Middle Park townhouses project and look forward to future collaborations. Daniel Yusko – Director. MUSK Architecture Studio

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.
