    Joe built our 2 car garage & driveway and also rebuilt our laundry (completed October 2023) and we couldn't be happier with the results. Joe and his trades were all great to work with, very respectful and clean on site. I've since used his trades for other jobs around the house, and Joe's even helped out with some home handyman advice. The quality on the build is great, but what made Joe stand out to us was his great attitude, support & communication before and throughout the build. Even checking in months later to see how things are going. I think Joe builds trusting partnership with his clients, explains the process clearly and takes his time to make sure we understand and are getting exactly what we want. Joe came recommended through a friend after we struggled to get a builder from no reply's or seemingly unreasonable quotes. Joe was quick to respond and visit on site to quote, I'd highly recommend Joe to my friends and family.

    We had J.A.O Constructions renovate our existing home. The build was so seamless, as a builder myself we wanted a simple and straight forward process and Joe and the Team did that. All the trades used in the extension and renovation were great to deal with and the professionalism & quality was amazing. Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants a one stop shop with no hassle.

    The JAO constructions team helped us realise the build of our dream home. The owner, Joe, was organised and delivered on his promise of completing our home in the time we agreed. He and his team are hardworking, knowledgable, have an eye for detail and ensured we were 100% happy with everything before finishing up. As always with renovations, things change and the team took this in their stride. We couldn't ask for a more beautiful home and would highly recommend JAO Constructions to anyone looking to custom build a new home or renovate an existing.

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.
