    Dave, Dani and the crew did a great job constructing our second storey extension. It was a high quality build for a fair price. The process was smooth and we were really impressed with all the suggestions made by Dave for modifications during construction. Their attention to detail and the quality of their work was excellent. We would highly recommend McLaren Builders for any extensions.

    McLaren Builders were contracted to do an internal/external renovation of our Cowes home and they have completed a fantastic job. Dave, Dani and their crew were very proffesional and the contractors they enaged were top notch in their respective fields. We were often asked who is your builder and when replied McLaren Builders were repeatedly told " you are in excellent hands" and this was very much the case. Great job guys and highly recommended , thank you.

    Dave McLaren completed our new custom-build home in Cowes and we moved-in in OCT 2023. From the outset when we first met Dave and Dani, we were impressed by their professionalism and honesty. Our build was a custom-build and a cost-plus build, so we saw every single invoice associated with the contract. Throughout the build Dave was proactive, organised, and very focused on attention to detail and the best outcome for both parties. Daves' carpenters were professional and enthusiastic, and the other trades engaged (plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, tiling, glasswork, plastering, painting, concreting) were all first class in terms of professionalism and finish. Throughout the custom build, Dave's experience and advice at every step added significant value to the outcome. If you want a builder with experience, integrity, and a quality outcome, Dave is your man, very ably supported in the office by his wife Dani.

    The team at McLaren Builders built our home 5 years ago and from the very start I knew that we were in good hands. David and his team got the job done without fuss. I Highly recommend these guys!

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.
