    Tony Taouk and his crew needed to use the balcony of the flat I'm renting to access the roof of our building to do some repairs over several days. I don't know and therefore can't speak to the precise nature of the work or how successfully it was completed, as it didn't affect my flat directly. I can attest, however, that Tony and all of the various crew members were extremely courteous, respectful of the space, and very personable in their interactions with me. They tried their best to minimize disruptions to my routine and to communicate their work schedule to me in advance.

    Lacen Belder used my apartment as a project office during a large repair to the entire complex. The apartment was refurbished, repaired, repainted and recarpeted as part of the arrangement. All their agreed obligations were fulfilled or exceeded. They were keen to make sure I knew my flat was being well cared for during that time. Their communication was regular, professional and focussed on my needs. I would recommend this arrangement with Lacen Belder to anyone.

    I just wanted to pass on some positive feedback about Bobby, who attended today to clear the debris and collect two bollards and a hazard sign. Bobby was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He arrived on time and quickly assessed the situation, realising he would need two large ladders to safely access the area as he was working on his own. He went back to his ute to retrieve them and also moved several potted plants to create enough space to work. The area is extremely awkward with no direct access, which meant he needed a ladder on each side of the barrier (approximately 180cm high). Despite the difficult setup, Bobby managed the task safely and efficiently. He cleared five dry wall panels on his own and then took the time to thoroughly clean the area with a broom. I should mention that in the eight years I’ve been here, that space has never been cleaned and had accumulated quite a lot of small debris. Bobby actually left the area in better condition than when he arrived. He was friendly, respectful, and very professional throughout the job. It’s not often you come across such a courteous and hardworking tradesperson — he is a real credit to himself.

The entire team was friendly and easy to work with, ensuring minimal disruption within the building. Most importantly, the project was completed on time. A big shout out to Harry and his crew for being exceptionally attentive and responsive. Highly recommended.

    I engaged Lacen Belder to diagnose several long-standing issues at my property. They were able to get to the root cause quickly, and the report they provided was clear, easy to understand, and well structured. What I really appreciated was that they presented multiple solution options across different price points, rather than pushing one expensive, all-or-nothing fix. Professional, practical, and easy to deal with.

    Lacen Belder were engaged by our owner’s corp to carry out large-scale works on our building to address ongoing issues, mainly related to water leaks. They approached the job thoroughly and clearly knew what they were doing. Being able to see progress along the way gave us confidence that the issues were being properly resolved. The finished result was completed to a high standard and has held up well since. Very happy with the outcome.

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.
