Question 2

Do deck builders charge call-out fees?

Accepted Answer

Many deck builders charge a call-out or minimum attendance fee to assess the site, which is usually separate from labour and materials. After-hours or emergency attendance is often charged at a higher rate. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum fees when you request a quote.

Question 3

Do deck builders need a licence in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Yes — deck builders generally need a contractor licence or registration to carry out building work in all states and territories. In NSW the key authority is the NSW Building Commission (formerly NSW Fair Trading). You should expect a builder to provide their licence or registration number, hold public liability insurance and display relevant industry credentials such as association membership and a White Card.
