What do builders’ services include?

Local builders can help you with your needs and concerns regarding constructing your home, office, business or any dream property! Here’s what you can expect from builders near you:

Conceptualisation and planning

Before general builders start your construction project, the first stage is to create your concept behind it and plan the blueprints, design and other essential elements. Feel free to plan precisely how you want to as your Tasker guides you to ensure everything is up-to-code and the design and structure are sound and stable. Once the construction plans and blueprints are ready, the next step would be obtaining building and construction permits. This may sound overwhelming, but your Tasker can help you get the right planning permission for your project.

Implementation and execution

Once all the necessary documents and planning are done, your Tasker can now start your construction project! This stage usually starts with clearing and excavating the land to remove boulders, trees or anything that stands in the way of your building. It can also mean demolishing an old property standing on your preferred space while following building regulations. Afterwards, they can proceed with pouring and curing the foundation. Framing comes next, and that includes installing wooden frames and steel beams. 

When your property has been completely framed out, that’s where doing rough electrical and plumbing work comes in. A good builder will install the roof, vents, ductwork, heating, and cooling units and may even start paving your driveway and other outdoor spaces.

Finalisation and completion

The interior of your property is completed at this stage. General builders near you install insulation, drywall, ceilings and outlets. And once the interior walls are good to go, that’s when fixtures such as lighting, windows and doors are added. Renovating the bathroom and installing tubs, toilets, faucets, and sinks can also be a part of this phase. The final step in building services covers finishing touches, from installing your flooring and painting your walls to putting countertops in. 

A construction project may leave a massive mess once it’s finished. Get someone to clean after the builders to make your property look more polished without you having to lift a finger!

Assemble Stilla shed (3.64 x 1.92 m)

$1,000

Coburg VIC 3058, Australia

21st May 2024

Need someone to install a shed in our backyard. Shed details: - Brand: Stilla - Type: Cedar Shed Maple 12×6 - Size: 3.64 x 1.92 m https://www.stilla.com.au/product/maple-12x6/ Heavy duty timber floor will be supplied as part of the shed pack, so no need for concrete slab to be laid but it will need stumps set into the ground to support it. Stumps will be supplied but concrete will not. I expect the job will need to happen over a few days to allow the concrete to set for the stumps, before installing the shed on top. House has rear lane access to load in/out of. Ground around the shed will be cleared before the job. Shed due to arrive Thurs 13-June. Install date flexible but ideally as close to this as possible.

Melbourne VIC, Australia

I am planning to convert my garage into a Small Office Unit (SOU) with a bedroom and bathroom, located in Saint Albans, Melbourne. I seek your expertise to ensure compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and to navigate the permit process efficiently. Below, I've outlined the specifics of my project with attention to compliance requirements: 1. **Insulation**: To meet the NCC's energy efficiency provisions, particularly Section J for residential buildings, I intend to incorporate high-performance insulation in walls and ceilings, ensuring an optimal thermal performance rating. 2. **Plumbing**: The addition of a bathroom necessitates compliance with NCC Volume Three - Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), focusing on water efficiency, sanitary drainage, and waterproofing requirements. 3. **Waterproofing**: Adhering to AS 3740 - Waterproofing of domestic wet areas, to prevent moisture damage and ensure the integrity of bathroom areas. 4. **Ceiling Height**: In alignment with NCC Building Code of Australia Volume Two, Part 3.8.2, the conversion will feature ceiling heights of at least 2.4 meters for more than two-thirds of the floor area, providing adequate headroom and ventilation. 5. **Windows and Natural Light**: Upgrading garage windows to double-glazed units to enhance thermal efficiency and sound insulation, adhering to the NCC's Part 3.8.5 requirement for natural light. The design will ensure window sizes meet at least 10% of the floor area, aligning with NCC Volume Two, Part 3.8.4 for natural lighting. 6. **Garage Door**: Considering the installation of a new garage door with integrated windows, to fulfill the NCC's natural light requirements while contemplating aesthetics and functionality. The design will ensure compliance with relevant Australian Standards for garage doors in residential applications, considering security, insulation, and operational safety.
