    We had a full custom-built unit designed to match the existing dwelling. It was delivered and positioned on site by crane. Jason and Kim were a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process. They dealt with the build, delivery and full connection. It was surprisingly quick, Jason was always available on the phone for questions and ideas, and no decisions were made without first checking in with us. My family and I are extremely happy with the result - thankyou D&J Portables!

    Jason and Kim were very helpful and flexible with my recent build. They have great pride in their work and did everything they could to make sure I was happy with the new unit. They communicated regularly through the build, keeping me informed of progress and when they plan to have people at the property.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ D & J Portable Buildings were actually the final builder we contacted to quote our home extension —essentially they were a last minute recommendation before we signed a contract with another builder . In hindsight, we’re so glad we made this decision, because Jason and Kim completely changed the game. From the moment we reached out, Jason’s communication stood out. It was enterprise-grade: prompt, professional, clear, and consistent. No chasing, no guesswork — just straight answers and proactive updates from start to finish. **Here’s what to expect if you work with D & J Portable Buildings:** 🔹 **Unmatched Communication:** Jason runs his business like a top-tier operation. Every message is timely and detailed, and you always know where the project stands. 🔹 **First-Class Workmanship:** The build quality was excellent — solid, clean, and clearly made to last. Nothing rushed, no corners cut. 🔹 **Professional Project Management:** Everything ran smoothly and on schedule. Trades were coordinated well, timelines were met, and there was a real sense of control and oversight throughout. 🔹 **Faster Delivery Than the Rest:** Compared to every other builder we contacted, D & J were miles ahead on speed. The entire project was completed significantly faster than we expected, without compromising on quality. In short — if you're on the fence or just adding them to your quote list like we did, save yourself the hassle & go with these guys. D & J Portable Buildings will exceed expectations on every front including cost!

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.
