We'll come back to you within one business day to talk through what's possible.
A home renovation, a rear extension, a second storey addition, or something you haven't put a name to yet. Tell us what you're thinking and we'll take it from there.
Are you licensed and insured?
NSW Builder Licence 288792C. You can look it up yourself on the NSW Fair Trading register, along with any disciplinary history, and we'd encourage you to do that with any builder you're considering. Home Building Compensation cover is taken out on every eligible project, and those certificates are published on the NSW HBC register under our licence number. ABN 44 607 778 263.
What will my project cost?
Nobody can answer that honestly without seeing the site and the plans, and you should be wary of a number given over the phone. What we can tell you is how you'll find out. After the first visit, and once the plans are settled, you get a written cost proposal setting out what's included, what isn't, and how long it takes.
How much deposit do you take?
Under NSW law a builder can't ask for more than 10% of the contract price as a deposit, and we don't. The progress payments after that are set out in your contract before work starts, each one tied to a stage of the build. You'll know the full payment schedule before you sign anything.
Can I speak to people you've built for?
Yes. We'll put you in touch with past clients, and you should ask them the things that matter: did it finish on time, did it finish on budget, was he on site, and how did he handle it when something went wrong. You can also read reviews from past clients on our Google profile.
Will you work with my architect?
Yes, and we'd rather come in early than be handed a finished set of drawings. Getting involved while the design is still moving means anything expensive to build, or anything the existing structure won't take, gets raised while it's still a change on paper. We've worked alongside architects on everything from heritage terraces to family homes.
Where do you build?
Across Sydney, with most of our work in the Inner West. We also build through St George, the Eastern Suburbs, the North Shore and the Northern Beaches. If you're outside those areas, call anyway and we'll tell you straight away if we're the right builder for the job.
Do I need plans before I contact you?
No. If you've got plans we'll review them for buildability and cost. If you're starting from nothing, we'll introduce you to architects and designers we've worked with and you deal with them directly. Most people call us before anything is drawn, which is usually the right time.
