Building a new home is as exciting as it is challenging. Selecting a skilled builder is therefore an important first step, and when selecting your building it is worth paying more for a builder that is reputed at producing quality work. After selecting who you would like to use, request a quote and read through it carefully to ensure everything you require has been included and quoted on. Also keep an eye out for quotes that seem unrealistically low, as added expenses come back to bite you later down the track.

It is illegal for any builder to do residential construction work without a license in Australia, and many states require a builder to have some home warranty insurance to protect you against fraudulent work. Upon initial employment of your selected builder, you should check he is properly qualified to do the work you want him to do, and that he is licensed with your state’s Office of Fair Trading.
