    If I could give Drew and his builders at Larkin and Drought 6 stars I would. They were AMAZING! Nothing was ever too much trouble and they made us a part of the whole process from beginning to end. Their work is exceptional with their attention to detail infinite. Exceedingly professional, dependable, flexible and really passionate about what they do. They delivered exactly what they promised and more, in a cost effective manner. I cannot endorse this team enough. Highly recommended.

    We have just finished a major renovation - kitchen, bedroom, wir, ensuite which included some very difficult alterations from the 80's architect design which left a lot to be desired. From start to finish was a fantastic experience with Drew Larkin and Craig Drought and their chippys and builders. Nothing was too much trouble and the advice and other trade supervision above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend this company to anybody looking to build or renovate. Thanks in particular to Jamie who looked after us from start to finish and is a consummate professional.

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.
