    Scott and the team at Leighton Design and Construct came highly recommended to us over 10 years ago and he helped us completely and beautifully renovate the inside of our small 3 bed house. A few years after a gorgeous transformation at that house we moved to a larger house, we had the team back to help us transform our new home. This time we wanted a lot of work done outdoors with a new carport, large deck/entertaining area, and a pool, but we had no idea of what was achievable. Scott made it easy for us to visualise our dream with fantastic design concepts (including some of my wife’s radical ideas), clearly informing us on the all the processes, and keeping us updated on all the steps along the way. We had some challenges with approvals, which Scott was able to clearly advise on, and the new approvals were granted. The hard work, friendly and clear communication, but especially the trustworthiness and amazing quality of work, is why we have asked Leighton Design and Construct to come back and further transform our family home!

    We were recommended to Scott Leighton through a work colleague, and he met all our expectations. His attention to detail and pride in his work were evident in the excellent results of the renovation. We collaborated with Scott to carry out a significant renovation to the back of our house, which included building a new bathroom and laundry, reworking the walk-in-wardrobe space, reflooring the bedroom, and fixing our outdoor atrium space. We had a clear vision of what we wanted, and Scott helped us achieve it. As with any renovation, there were some unexpected mishaps, delays, and additional approvals needed. However, Scott was communicative and kept us informed about the progress every step of the way, and we worked together to overcome any challenges. We are thrilled with the outcome of the renovation and would not hesitate to work with Scott again in the future.

Carpentry costs & guides

Frequently asked questions

How much do carpenters typically charge?
Carpentry costs vary widely depending on the job. Simple trim or door hanging is usually less than internal framing, small outdoor structures or timber repairs that require more labour and materials. Most carpenters charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate, with after-hours work attracting higher rates; this page shows live local pricing to help you compare quotes.
Do carpenters charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and typically cover travel and the initial assessment. These fees are usually charged separately from hourly labour and materials. After-hours attendance is often charged at a higher rate, so confirm any call-out or minimum fees when requesting quotes.
Do carpenters need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Carpentry work is generally required to be carried out by a licensed tradesperson in every Australian state and territory. In NSW, licences are administered by Building Commission NSW (formerly NSW Fair Trading). You should expect providers to display a valid state building or trade licence on quotes and advertising, and to hold an ABN, public liability insurance and industry memberships such as HIA or Master Builders.
