Top Building & Construction related questions
Prices vary depending on your specific location and other factors like your preferred materials, the complexity of the project, and your main contractor. On average, the cost of building a house ranges from $900 to $3,100 per square metre.
While this is possible, it’s not ideal to build your own property unless you have proven experience and the proper gear for construction work. Hire a Tasker instead to save you from the stress and hassle of overseeing the construction project. By working with a legitimate builder, you can ensure a smooth process, durable finish, and strict compliance with building industry codes.
The duration of your project depends on several factors, including the size of your property, type of service, number of Taskers involved, and level of customisation required.
As a general guide, constructing a shed can take a few days to several weeks, depending on your Tasker’s skill level and the materials used. Building a gazebo varies with the material. A simple wooden frame can be constructed in six to 12 hours with two to three people, while a custom build may take one to two days with a full contractor team. For home building and construction, tract and spec home builders take at least seven months to finish a house. Custom homes can take anywhere between nine months to a year for a full completion.Â
For a more accurate and clear understanding of the timeline of your construction project, consult your Tasker.
Not necessarily. Your Tasker will have the necessary tools like hammers and nails, screws, saws, screwdrivers, and many others. However, if you have your own tools and prefer to use them, you can arrange this with your Tasker. Simply inform them beforehand so they know which tools to bring.
When choosing a home builder, consider their accreditations, licences, and certifications. Look for solid experience and a proven portfolio with a strong success record. Assess the builder's team—each member should be experienced and well-coordinated. Make sure they prioritise high-quality materials and demonstrate top-notch workmanship. Ultimately, select a builder who can meet your specific needs and preferences as a client.
It would be ideal if you already have a clear vision of what your property will be for and what it would look like. If you have yet to finalise this, consider hiring an interior architect to help you come up with a concrete idea for the design and layout of your property.

What do building services include?
Most builders are experienced in working with a range of different project types, tools, and materials, although some specialise in delivering a particular type of building service or skill. Some of the most common building services include:
New builds & renovations
Whether you’re planning a new extension or a renovation in an existing space, you’ll need a professional builder to draft up the plans and implement them. Drafting involves drawing objects and plans to scale with details to help guide the building or construction project. Some of the most popular types of renovation and installation projects include kitchen installations, bathroom renovations, and home extensions. If you need demolition, your builder can help organise and oversee the process before you start your build or renovation. Your building contractor will refer to the plans for ordering, measuring, and installing all the materials, and work with other contractors as needed to expertly build and finish the project.
Sheds & outdoor living
Want to improve your outdoor living areas or add extra storage space with a shed? Builders can help with outdoor projects like shed installation, gazebo installation, and even plunge pools. They can also help with installing patios or pergolas. Your building contractor can help with the entire process, from choosing the design and ordering the materials, to concreting and installing the foundations and structure. Finally, they can do the finishing touches, like rendering or shelving. Experienced builders will also check details like local rules and regulations to ensure your structure is compliant.
Driveways
Need your driveway concreted? Your building contractor can help lay concrete for a new driveway, seal your driveway, or repair an existing driveway surface. They’ll recommend the best driveway materials so you get the design and function you want, before ordering the materials needed. They’ll prep the surface, excavating to ensure it’s level, compacting the ground, then reinforcing the edges with timber. They’ll use a concrete mixer, wheelbarrow, shovel, and trowel to mix and spread concrete, smoothing the surface as they go. To seal the concrete, your building contractor will need to wait a couple of weeks for it to fully cure, before spraying, rolling, or brushing the sealant onto the clean surface.
