    Nic was an absolute pleasure to have working at our property. He understood immediately the issue that we had and explained thoroughly what he could see as the presented issue then any potential issues that could arise once work had started. I was well informed. Very happy with the process and outcome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nic to family and friends who need his services. Thank you Nic! Hope to keep in touch.

    We recently used Design Carpentry for our room extension and couldn’t be happier with the result. Nicholas, the builder and owner, along with his colleague Emanuel, were fantastic to work with. Their communication was excellent — always clear, prompt, and professional. They were punctual, respectful, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of their workmanship was outstanding, and it’s clear they both take great pride in what they do. Our extension was completed to a very high standard, and we are thrilled with the final outcome. We highly recommend Design Carpentry, Nicholas, and Emanuel to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and trustworthy builders

    We recently completed a mid-size kitchen renovation with Nic from Design Carpentry and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the very beginning, the team was professional, reliable, and transparent throughout every stage of the process. The quality of workmanship was outstanding, and attention to detail was clearly a top priority. Communication was excellent, although we were overseas for a long time, their weekly summary report captured all the progress in details, action items required from every parties, budget tracking and any concerns we had were addressed promptly and thoroughly. We’re absolutely thrilled with the final result 🤗 Not only would absolutely work with them again but also would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who is looking for a top quality building work with stress free experience.

    I had hired Nic for 4 different work - all around the house, on a hilly and rocky terrain. Despite the challenges, Nic left a lasting impression not only with his excellent work which is perfect, but he also came across as reliable, sincere and showcased great work ethics. Always reachable, he was happy to make multiple visits to the site to make sure that we were on the same page in terms of the requirement. Work started on time and completed as scheduled, and the result was exactly as he helped us visualize through his drawings. Nic went above and beyond what was expected to ensure that the final work is close to perfect and functional. He returned few weeks later to check if there were any issues with the work and there was none. During the work stage, he made sure that he we get the best deals on material, reusing anything that is possible, thus saving us money at the same time sticking strictly to Australian Safety Standards. He built outdoor stairs for us where we had no access and we now are glad we found Nic as he was creative to figure out a way to do this when others shied away. He also worked on extending our deck, built a hand rail for existing stair case, and rebuilt a balustrade which looked exactly like the original. There is more work which he did that showcases his brilliance. Nick and his mate together make a wonderful team. I am very impressed with his work and will trust him any day for any of my work and will highly recommend him. The more challenging the work is, Nic is the one.

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.
