Hiring a builder in Dorset: what to check

Licence check. Residential builders in Tasmania generally need to be licensed or registered with the TAS building regulator for work above a set value. Requirements and thresholds differ between states, so check the builder holds the licence or registration required in TAS for your job, and what it covers.
  • 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.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.

Typical jobs

  • Home extensions and second storeys
  • Knock-down rebuilds and new homes
  • Renovations and structural changes
  • Granny flats and secondary dwellings
  • Duplexes
  • Decks, patios and outdoor rooms
  • Insurance and storm-damage repairs

Tips for Dorset

  • Distances between towns are bigger in outer regional areas — ask whether a builder regularly works in your locality and what travel costs apply.
  • Booking ahead helps, as regional tradies are often scheduled weeks in advance.
  • Check with Dorset council early about whether your project needs approval before you get final quotes.
