The detail
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each builder's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.
Itemised scope. Every stage listed, site prep to finishing, not a lump sum.
Material specs. Exact brand, grade and quantity, not 'good quality'.
Exclusions. Driveways, landscaping, fencing and site costs are classic traps.
Prime cost and provisional sums. Allowances for choices and site work not priced yet.
Licence and insurance. ABN, licence, public liability and home warranty cover.
Permits. Who gets permits, soil tests and compliance certificates.

Local conditions
These factors affect home building work in this area — worth discussing with your tradie.
Mossman is in a cyclone zone — structural tie-downs, cyclone-rated openings, and engineer-certified fixings are mandatory for all structural work. This is a non-negotiable compliance requirement.
Mossman's tropical climate means intense UV, high humidity, and heavy seasonal rain. Mould-resistant, UV-stable products aren't optional for exterior work here.
Mossman gets significantly more rainfall than most of Australia — builder work needs to target the drier months. Book well ahead, because the good weather windows fill up fast.
Termite activity is very high in Mossman. All timber — cabinetry, joinery, framing, flooring — should be termite-treated or a naturally resistant species. Annual inspections are essential.
