    We recently engaged Anton Englemeyer of Calm Living Homes to complete a knock down/rebuild of our dream custom designed Hampton's style home. The process from start to finish was smooth, without delays and with excellent communication from our Project Manager Steven. The build took just under 6 months (with Christmas and Easter included so it was probably less!)and was finished to a great standard and with such quality trades, we are extremely pleased with the end result. Anton and Steven guided us through the process and were great to deal with, honest and reliable, and always looking out for our best interests. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to build an excellent quality home.

    Calm Living Homes did a fantastic renovation for us in Ferny Creek. Anton generously used his expertise to help us brainstorm ideas for the renovation and extension of our home. He took into consideration our budget, consulted through the design stage and most importantly communicated with us in every detail during construction of our new home. The project team also had a mutual understanding and was flexible with our living needs. Their expertise on choosing the right design products for our new kitchen, flooring, bathroom and living space was excellent. Our new home was completed earlier than expected and we were most impressed with Anton’s team of professional trades and suppliers which attended to every detail professionally. Anton’s many years of experience in the building industry helped us choose the right interior design, correct natural colours and spectacular use of skylights. This brings natural light into our beautiful home, now a 6 star energy rating house which keep our home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Calm Living home also helped with exterior facade design and using natural stonework which makes our new home a high quality house which blends in well with the natural environment surroundings. We would like to thank Anton, Ron and the team for their professionalism, understanding, building product knowledge and letting us be involved in the building process. We love our new living space and landscape surrounds. I would highly recommend Calm Living Homes for any renovation or new build. Anton’s credentials and awards, together with delivering top quality constructions is paramount. Our new renovated home will last a long time for many generations to enjoy. We thank you and your team.

    I could not recommend Anton more! He was able to create a new floor-plan for our renovation/extension project working with the old house as much as possible to keep costs down. His experience showed as he thought of using the existing house in ways we never would have. He really listened to our wants/needs (specifically a two stage project so we didn’t have to move out) and came up with a great plan to achieve our goals, all within our budget. He openly shared his knowledge offering lots of little tips and tricks along the way. A kind, personable and professional person to work with.

    We were planning to renovate when we had the good fortune in finding Anton Engelmayer. Anton was already renovating a house in our street not far from us. We asked to meet him as we had already heard how well things were going with our neighbours. We had already spent time with design and concept and all of those issues but we needed costings and a builder. Anton was asked to quote on the total renovation. He then gave us a detailed breakdown of those costs and was quite objective in his assessment – “I will get quotes on any part that you are unhappy with as long as it meets my quality standards” We got what we paid for – outstanding. Anton was quite determined in using all his contacts and that proved to be the best for us. From the draftsmen to the plumber, carpenters, electrician, they were all excellent. And because of Anton’s relationship with them he coordinated the timetables so that everything flowed well. They were all fantastic to work with and have in our home as we lived on the premises while the renovation took place. It was completed in only 8 weeks – must be some sort of record! Anton is passionate about his work and his attention to detail is extraordinary. And he would always go the extra mile to make us happy. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone and would certainly use him again.

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.
