What builders on renovate.com.au take on

Before you start

What to know before you get quotes

Check the licence class, not just the licence

A builder licensed for minor works cannot contract for a second storey. Every quote here shows the licence number and class so you can match it to the job.

Get the scope in writing before the price

Two quotes can differ by half because one includes demolition, permits and skip hire and the other does not. Ask for the inclusions list first.

Allow for approvals and lead time

Extensions usually need council or private certifier approval, which adds weeks before work can start. A good builder will tell you the realistic timeline up front.

Questions to ask

Five things to settle before you sign

  1. 1Which licence class do you hold, and does it cover this work?
  2. 2Who supervises the site day to day?
  3. 3What is included in the quote, and what is a provisional sum?
  4. 4How do you handle variations once work has started?
  5. 5Can I speak to the owner of a job you finished last year?

Questions

Building questions, answered
