    Dave was reliable, professional, knowledgeable and not to forget accommodating when our requirement changed a little, which happens with your first renos and Zaki the all rounder, what a craftsman. We love our kitchen and the whole Renos, Will definitely use them again.

    My husband and I made the right decision in contracting Lafayette Builders to renovate our ensuite bathroom. We had a pleasant experience working with Dave who gave us valuable ideas on how to convert a dated bathroom to a modern one. Gabriel coordinated tradies to work back to back, thus the project could be finished quickly in less than three weeks. We are particularly impressed by Zaki, the multi-skilled tradie, who was conscientious and skillful in tiling, caulking and water proofing. We enjoyed dealing with this team and would strongly recommend them to others because they are efficient, reliable and great value for the money we paid.

    Dave was great, he was very prompt with organising a measure and quote and listened to exactly what I wanted. I had a very tight time frame which Dave and his team met and exceeded which is such a huge relief. My tiles look amazing! I can highly recommend your work. Thanks for working to my schedule and producing a quality finish.

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.
