    Super helpful. We needed some advice around a property we were thinking of purchasing, Justin read our email and took the time to provide invaluable feedback even though we never ended up purchasing the property. If we had then we would absolutely have hired F.G James. Thanks again

  • WJWendy J10 May 2019

    Highly skilled team who have removed the rising damp from my home. I had no idea what it was until Greg and his team of experts were able to put my mind at ease. Thanks again. Highly recommended.

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.
