    It was a pleasure to deal with Adam, especially as we were from the other side of the country! The job was done to a very high professional standard and he left the site very clean. We would definitely recommend Adam any time to do your retaining wall. Thank you Adam!

    Adam & his team had taken on a difficult retaining wall job with limited access. He was always the complete professional & soldiered on despite all the set backs. The end result was a work of art. I would very much recommend Empire Walls for any projects. Thanks for your help.

    We're really pleased with the new retaining walls installed by Empire Retaining Walls at our Mt Eliza home. Old rotted redgum walls needed replacing and re-positioning. We'd heard many a horror story about retaining walls failing and didn't want to risk giving the job to anyone but a qualified, registered, retaining wall builder. It was a huge job, with limited access but Adam and his team executed the work in a timely manner, professionally and without fuss. We especially appreciated them protecting our driveway and how clean the site was left. All debris removed and they even did a final pressure wash clean of the area. So pleased with our choice and know the work has been done right the first time. We'd highly recommend Empire Retaining Walls.

    I can honestly say I struck gold when hiring Adam to do my retaining wall. From start to finish he and his team showed up on time, if not early, worked non stop and completed my large retaining wall in my backyard in less than 2 weeks. Adam was able to organise anything I was unsure about, give advice as to the best way to go about things, tidied up before leaving each afternoon and left the place spotless upon completion (including the front yard). Thank you once again for the amazing work you've done and your professionalism. I feel like I'm living in a new house. 100% recommended.

    Following our build, our yard was a mess. We contacted Adam and he has now made our backyard flat and useable. We then reached out again for Adam to complete our front yard, which is now looking fantastic. All garden work is very daunting if you don't know exactly what you want, however Adam provided ideas and then implemented them for us. His guidance and expertise were invaluable. Highly recommend!

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.
Does Empire Retaining Walls have a verified ABN?
Yes. Empire Retaining Walls has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
