    All new builds will have defects to be rectified and a few disappointments that come with the stress of moving in, as I found with my fabulous new Preston Crossing Apartment. I’m so extremely Thankful to have the Melbourne Aftercare team of the Balmain & Co gents - Tony & Dino, whom from the outset of receiving my spreadsheet promptly organised the trades to attend, fix, repair and even replacement of cabinetry in keeping with the standard of the premium fit-out. I appreciate their professional support and timely attendance to all matters I raised and the level of comfort they provided in doing their best organising the different trades and always with the courtesy of prompt and clear communications. Many thanks, Gw

    Amy from Balmain & Co recently assisted during the handover process of an apartment within 431 Hampton Street. This was then marketed by our office Haven Agents for lease. Even during the difficult end of year holiday period, Amy remained contactable and allowed our team to facilitate inspections of the apartment. Having leased several brand-new apartments, Amy has been by far the best in terms of managing the key handover process, providing thorough building induction details, and offering exceptional support for any concerns. Her attention to detail, proactive communication, and approachable demeanor made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We highly value Amy’s professionalism and look forward to future collaborations.

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.
