What Our Clients in Melbourne Say
Your Melbourne Building Questions Answered
We've all heard the horror stories about dodgy builders ripping off their clients. That's exactly why we started BuilderSelect. We personally vet every single builder before they join our network, and I mean properly vet them. We call their previous clients, check their licenses with the VBA, and even look at their financials to make sure they won't disappear halfway through your job while leaving you out to dry. When you contact us, we don't just send you random builders, we actually match you with builders who've done similar work in your area and know they can do what they promise.
Pretty much everything domestic builders do. We've got builders who specialise in everything from knocking down that old weatherboard home in Camberwell to adding a second story in Brighton. Luxury kitchen renos, bathroom makeovers, granny flats for the in-laws, you name it. The key thing is we match you with someone who's actually done your type of project before, not just any builder with a hammer and an ABN.
That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? From what we see, a decent kitchen renovation will set you back anywhere from $25K to $70K depending on how fancy you want to go. Extensions are usually $1,500 to $3,000 per square meter. But here's the thing, every job is different. That's why we always recommend getting at least three quotes. The builders we work with are pretty transparent about pricing, which saves everyone a lot of headaches. For a more in-depth look at pricing, check out our blog page for case studies and guides.
This is where having an experienced Melbourne builder really pays off with your project. Each council has its own quirks, what flies in Boroondara might not work in Port Phillip. BuilderSelect’s builders know the local planning rules, understand the heritage overlays, and can help you navigate the permit process without the usual dramas. Trust me, you don't want to be dealing with the council yourself on a building project as things can get frustrating very fast.
Nobody likes to think about it, but sometimes things don't go to plan. That's when we step in. We're not just a directory service, we actually stay involved throughout your project. If there are issues, we'll work with both you and the builder to sort them out. In the rare cases where we can't resolve things, we'll help you find someone else to finish the job properly.
BuilderSelect matched me with three builders in 48 hours for my kitchen reno. Went with the second quote and it was done in 4 weeks, no dramas. Would definitely use them again.
