    Rob Carlson is a highly skilled and competent builder and problem-solver who gets the job done with a minimum of fuss. He is an excellent communicator, and kept us fully informed throughout our project. We found him to be extremely personable, trustworthy and professional, and focused on finding practical solutions for any unforeseen difficulties (of which there are always some in older buildings). We would gladly use Carlson Built again and highly recommend them for any project.

    Rob came into our lives when we’d been severely let down by another builder. He took our half renovated shell and turned it into our dream home. He was always professional, knowledgeable, efficient and reliable, as were his tradies. We couldn’t speak more highly of Rob, and we’ll be forever grateful to him for the care that he took in completing our house. Would recommend Rob unreservedly.

    We recently did our renovation with Rob, and he went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Very friendly and honest, flexible and timely, great attention to detail and very clear communication. The house looks exactly as we had hoped. Can't recommend them highly enough.

    Robert and his team came in at a point where our renovation was going massively both over budget and time frame with another builder. He got us back on track quickly and calmly and the end result is perfect. He and his team were always on time, polite, tidy and professional. Wish I’d employed him from the start.

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.
