    When we planned for our first-ever renovation and extension, we were braced for a total nightmare. You know how everyone bangs on about how stressful it is? We got lucky though — the team at Hive were a breath of fresh air right from the start. Tom and Karl ran the whole thing like an open book. They were completely transparent about costs and schedules — never played their cards close to their chest. Instead, they actually listened to what we wanted, saw things from our perspective, and did whatever they could to make the process easier on us. The real heart of the project was our site manager, Frank. He’s a gifted carpenter, but more than that, he’s just a wonderful bloke to have around — calm, friendly, and always ready with a “can-do” attitude. You can tell he truly cares about the work he does and the people he’s doing it for. Having him on-site every day gave us so much peace of mind. The end result is spot on. Our place looks and feels like the home we actually wanted, just like our architect designed, all done on time and on budget. Hive, thanks heaps for turning what could’ve been a nightmare into something pretty straightforward and positive. Legend work.

    Our design studio recently had the pleasure of working alongside Hive for an extensive interior renovation for a heritage home in Hawthorn. I was the interior designer and the custom detail and expectations for the job were high. I can enthusiastically say, the crew did an excellent job, and their communication was brilliant keeping myself and our clients up to date every single step of the way. They are wonderful collaborators and highly respectful, which makes my job as a Designer a breeze and a pleasure and nothing is too much trouble. They also work with a high end joinery team which is crucial to getting a beautifully detailed finish. Thank you for bringing our designs to life so beautifully, we can’t wait to work together again and photograph this project. Eclectic Creative

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.
