Hiring a builder in Alice Springs: what to check

  • Check the tradie holds the licence or registration required in your state for your type of job.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • Get a written contract for larger jobs — many states require one for residential building work over a set value.
  • Ask whether they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.

Tips for Alice Springs

  • In regional areas builders may travel long distances or visit on scheduled runs, so ask about travel costs and try to group jobs into one visit.

  • Check with Alice Springs council early about whether your project needs approval before you get final quotes.
