How to find the right builder for you

When selecting the right builder, there are several factors to consider.

It is important to determine the type of building project in question, as this will determine the skills and experience required from the tradies. For example, a major renovation will require a builder with expertise in a wide range of construction techniques, while a simple home extension may only require basic carpentry skills. We can sometimes be in more than one part of a building project, but most of the time we deal with demolishing existing buildings and taking care of what was taken away.

The budget should be taken into account when selecting a builder, as the cost of the project will depend on the quality of materials used and the level of expertise required. You may find requesting quotes from several companies can help you decide which one fits your budget - and we are happy to chat you through any questions you have about our quotes!

It is also important to check the builder’s insurance policy, to ensure that any damage or problems that may occur during the construction process are covered. We make sure our insurances are updated, you can check them out here.

The builder’s past experience should also be considered, as this will give an indication of the quality of their work. It is also important to check their references and read any customer reviews available. It is a good idea to consult with your friends and colleagues who have been in a similar position to recommend builders they've used in the past. Like for us, most of the jobs we get are from word-of-mouth and referrals and we are very proud of that.

Finally, it is always a good idea to have a face-to-face meeting with the builder and discuss the project in detail to ensure that both parties are clear on the project’s scope and expectations. This would also present a good opportunity for you to get to know the builder as they will be working on your home or commercial property.

By following these tips, we hope you will be able to select the right builder for your project!
