Builder FAQs
When should I speak with a builder during the design process?
It can be helpful to involve a builder once you have early concepts or sketches. They can flag
elements that may be costly or hard to build and give feedback that helps your designer refine
plans before they are finalised.
How many quotes should I get for a building project?
Many homeowners request quotes from at least two or three builders. Looking at similar detail
across each quote, not just the total, gives you a better sense of value and whether the builder
has fully understood the brief.
Can builders help with approvals and certifiers?
Some builders work closely with designers and private certifiers and can guide you through the
approvals process. Others may ask you to engage a designer or certifier directly. You can ask how
this normally works when you speak with each builder.
What information should I provide when posting a building job?
Useful details include your address or suburb, existing photos, any plans, an outline of the work
you want done and whether you plan to live in the home during construction. This helps builders
give more accurate responses.
