  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • For residential work over $5,000 (incl. GST) in NSW, get a written contract.

Local tips for Bondi

  • Coastal sites may have extra rules for wind, salt exposure and erosion — ask your builder about materials and approvals.
  • Building work in apartments usually needs strata approval, especially for anything structural or on common property.
  • Older homes can hide asbestos, termite damage or outdated wiring — make sure your contract explains how surprises are priced.
