    I recently had the pleasure of working with Kosta the plasterer, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was a true professional. The price for his services was extremely reasonable, especially given the high quality of his work. The craftsmanship he demonstrated was fantastic—everything was smooth, clean, and perfectly finished. Not only was Kosta skilled, but he was also a pleasure to deal with. He was friendly, approachable, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. It's clear he takes pride in his work, and it shows in the results. If you're looking for a reliable plasterer who delivers exceptional work at a great price, look no further than Kosta. I’ll definitely be calling him again for future projects!

    I recently had the pleasure of using Design Laf for a much-needed roof fix, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My roof had developed some troublesome issues, including leaks, and I was worried about the integrity of my home. Design Laf came to the rescue with their expertise and professionalism. The end result was a roof that looked brand new, with no signs of previous damage. What sets them apart is their commitment to quality and their dedication to customer satisfaction. From the initial consultation to the final repair, they kept me informed and involved throughout the process. The team's attention to detail, combined with their technical skill, is truly commendable. I highly recommend Design Laf .

    We recently had our whole house ceiling and two rooms painted, and I can’t speak highly enough of this painting company! From the very first contact they were so friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They showed up right on time , explained what they’d be working on, and were really respectful of our home throughout the whole process. The quality of their work is outstanding, the ceilings are perfectly smooth and bright, and the rooms look completely refreshed. They worked efficiently without cutting corners, and I was really impressed with the attention to detail. Even little things, like protecting the furniture and cleaning up afterwards, were done with so much care. It honestly feels like a whole new house now, and the difference it’s made is incredible. If anyone is looking for reliable painters who deliver top-quality results and are also genuinely lovely people to deal with, I couldn’t recommend them more!

    Kosta recently renovated our laundry and main bathroom, and took on a few smaller jobs around the house too. Everything has been done with excellent attention to detail and thoughtful design, and while there were a few hiccups along the way (as with every significant renovation project!) he communicated clearly and collaborated with us to find the best solution. We couldn't be happier with the result and wouldn't hesitate to engage him for future work.

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.
