If you are building a new home or renovating, there is a high likelihood that you will require a licensed builder for the project. They are critical in ensuring that the project runs smoothly and everything is built to the correct specifications.
There are many various tasks that builders can perform. These include:
Planning a bathroom renovation but worried how much it is going to cost? A bathroom renovation can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on the size of your bathroom, and how much your materials, fittings and labour costs are. $17,000 is the average cost of a bathroom renovation in Australia

As you can see a variety of factors impact the cost of an excavation job - each site is unique so there is no standard cost. You can work from some hourly rates that excavation businesses quote, which include the operator of the equipment. You can expect to pay anywhere from: $95/hour for a bobcat or small two-tonne excavator $105/hour for a 6-tonne excavator $140/hour for the combined service of an excavator and tip truck There may also be a separate charge for attachments, such as: $100/day for a rock grab $180/day for an auger $500/day for a diamond blade rock saw Some businesses may also charge a float, which is a charge to cover the transportation of the machine from their premises to your property and back again.
Builders need to have a general knowledge of all trades, not just their own; be able to estimate the quantities of materials needed for a project; assess the quality of work completed; organise the job site; have knowledge of the relevant laws and statutes; be able to communicate with clients; interpret job drawings; estimate the cost of a project; and be responsible for general and financial management of a project.

The purpose of a pre-purchase property inspection is to let you know about the condition of a property before you buy it. Building inspections are normally done before contracts are signed. They are great for letting you know of the hidden costs that may be associated with a property in regards to repairs that need to be carried out and can be a useful bargaining tool when it comes to price negotiations. The inspection should cover the interior and exterior of the building, the roof space, underfloor space, the exterior of the roof and the site itself. It should also cover the driveways, retaining walls and outbuildings, wiring and plumbing. Building inspections usually do not include an estimate of the cost of repair, minor defects, or the detection of termites. If you are worried about termites, you will need a pest inspection (see pest inspections). Some professionals offer building and pest inspections.
Building a house or undertaking a significant renovation or extension to your home? The first question you need to answer is how much is it all going to cost. It is notoriously difficult to estimate an exact figure as there are so many variables to consider, one of which is the cost of your builder.
The first step is to do your research and decide what you want to be done. Then you can begin to work on the scope of the project, get plans produced and decide on what level of finish you want. This will enable builders to give you an accurate quote and tender for your job.

In any sort of project, builders carry several professional responsibilities for construction and overseeing general building work including that of construction, renovation, extension or demolition of a building, road or other structure. If the builder is carrying out the work themselves, they may undertake structural work on your property such as adding rooms, removing walls, and so on. Also see general building work.
