    "I want to give a huge shout-out to the men behind Second Homes and their entire staff. It’s one thing to run a business, but it’s another to lead a team that actually delivers on its promises. I was initially quite nervous about starting a build, but they exceeded every expectation. They turned our plans into a reality in under 90 days, and most importantly, they stayed strictly within the initial budget. There were no hidden fees or 'surprise' variations, which was a huge relief for us. The quality of the work is outstanding. It’s clear they use highly professional, skilled trades; every detail from the plumbing to the final finishes was handled with precision and care. It doesn't feel like a simple backyard addition—it feels like a luxury, high-end home. If you want a builder who respects your wallet and delivers top-tier craftsmanship, I can’t recommend this team enough!"

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.
