Choosing the right builder is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when building a new home in Sydney or Perth. The right partner can make the experience smooth and exciting — the wrong one can turn it into a costly nightmare.
So how do you know who to trust with your biggest investment?
1. Look for Licensed and Insured Builders
Always verify that your builder is fully licensed and insured to operate in NSW or WA. A licensed builder complies with state regulations, building codes, and safety standards — giving you peace of mind that your home will be built to last.
Tip: You can check licences via Fair Trading NSW or the WA Building Commission.
2. Review Past Work and References
A reputable builder should have a portfolio of completed homes and testimonials from satisfied clients. Look for consistency in quality, style, and customer experience. Better yet, ask to visit a recently completed build.
What to ask:
Were they easy to communicate with?
Did the build finish on time and within budget?
Would you work with them again?
3. Compare Inclusions — Not Just Prices
Two quotes might look similar, but the inclusions can vary drastically. Some builders use “base pricing” that excludes key features like flooring, air conditioning, or landscaping — leading to big budget surprises later.
Tip: Ask for a detailed breakdown of what’s included in your quote and what’s considered an upgrade.
4. Understand Their Process
A quality home builder will walk you through a step-by-step building process: from design consultation and council approvals to construction and handover. They should also provide regular updates and be available for questions.
At Sky Building Construction, we offer a transparent process with dedicated project management and client communication, so you’re never left in the dark.
5. Local Experience Matters
Building conditions vary between Sydney and Perth. Local experience means your builder understands the soil types, climate, council regulations, and supplier networks — which all impact cost and construction time.
