What we do

One builder. The whole list.

Most properties don't need three trades and three separate waits. If it can be built, repaired, replaced or maintained, put it on the list — we'll knock it over in one visit.

Questions

Stuff people ask

Do you really cover all of Victoria?

Yes. Melbourne metro is booked week to week. Geelong, the Peninsula, Ballarat, Bendigo and Gippsland run on regular scheduled trips. For the far north and west — Mildura, Wodonga, Horsham, Portland — we take larger jobs and quote travel upfront so there are no surprises.

Is there a callout fee?

No. Quoting a job is free. Once work is booked you're charged for time on site, or a fixed project price if it's a bigger job.

How small a job will you take?

One hour is the minimum — and no job is too daft to ask about. Fair warning though: have a wander round with a notepad first. Everyone starts with one job and finds six. A half day works out far better value once you do.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — a registered building practitioner with $20m public liability insurance. Certificates are available on request, and agents and owners' corporations get them with the first invoice.

Do you supply materials?

Yes. Materials are itemised on the quote at cost. If you'd rather supply your own, that's fine too — just have them on site before we arrive.

How soon can you start?

Metro jobs are usually within the week, sometimes sooner. Regional jobs are scheduled around the next run to that area — you'll be given a confirmed date, not a maybe.

Do you work with real estate agents and owners' corporations?

Regularly. Work orders can come by email or through your portal. Every job comes back with before and after photos and an itemised invoice.

What about after-hours or emergency work?

Storm damage and make-safe work is handled as a priority. Commercial jobs can be booked after hours or on weekends to avoid disrupting trade.

How do I pay?

Bank transfer or card. Invoices are sent the evening the job finishes, with 7 days to pay. Larger projects run on a payment schedule agreed before work starts.

Right then. Let's knock that list over.

Send the list, get a fixed price back within 24 hours, anywhere in Victoria. No callout fee, no obligation, no one turning up in a van trying to sell you a new bathroom.
