Top Building Contractors related questions
A building contractor builds or renovates; a building inspector assesses a building that already exists (or a new build at key stages) and reports on its condition. You’d usually hire a building contractor to carry out a construction project, and a building inspector when you’re buying a property, want an independent check of a builder’s work, or need to understand a problem such as cracking, leaks or movement.
A pre-purchase building inspection looks for significant defects and safety hazards before you commit to buying: the structure, roof and roof space, subfloor, walls and ceilings, signs of moisture or poor drainage, and cracking or movement. A defect inspection focuses on specific problems, often in a new or recently renovated home, and records what needs fixing so you can take it back to the builder. Inspections are often paired with a timber pest inspection, which is a separate report. Always check what the report will and won’t cover before you book.
The cost of a building inspection depends mainly on the type of report you need (pre-purchase, defect or new-build stage inspection), the size and age of the property, how easy it is to access the roof space and subfloor, and whether you add a timber pest inspection.
To find affordable building inspections, post your task with the property type, suburb, number of bedrooms and the report you need, then compare offers from building inspectors near you. Check that each quote states the report type and turnaround time so you’re comparing like with like.

What do building contractor services include?
A building contractor ensures that your property is built according to codes, high standards and your satisfaction. They oversee the construction process and assume many roles in different stages of the project. Here is the wide range of tasks a building contractor can take on for you:
Construction planning
Every construction starts with thorough planning, including building design, the planned budget, time distribution, master schedule and legal compliance. Your Tasker must do their best to work within all these to avoid delays and unnecessary expenses. Aside from that, they will also determine the material and equipment they want to use and plan to procure them.
Inevitably though, your building contractor can only plan so much. This means they should be able to predict possible changes and create strategies that can mitigate potential risks.
Construction management
To finish your construction project on time, your building contractor manages every aspect of the entire process. Managing the funds while the construction is ongoing is vital to ensure that the project can keep moving. Your Tasker also interviews, hires and manages the team to complete specialised work. From laying the bricks and finishing the concrete to installing the roof, your Tasker ensures that each subcontractor has the right technical skills.Â
Construction tracking
There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to residential or commercial projects. It can be difficult to track every one of them, but your Tasker is here to take care of that! They can create progress reports to know where your project is currently at in terms of structure, schedule, and money.
Tracking also involves preventing disruptions and delays as much as possible. By doing quality control, ensuring a constant supply of equipment and materials, and working around problems, your Tasker makes sure that your design and build project runs smoothly.
Post-construction process
Before cutting the ribbon, you need to make sure that everything is 100% good to go! You can also book a building inspector near you for an independent check of the work before handover. This is where the post-construction phase comes in. Your Tasker walks you through every aspect of the building process, and you can see whether it’s up to your taste.
This is also the part where they show you how everything in your building works, so you gain a complete understanding of its layout and technical systems. You can grab this chance to have some expansions or additional work done, like loft conversions or property landscaping.
When you’ve officially moved in, your Tasker can conduct seasonal testing to ensure that your building performs as expected. While waiting for that, you can do your part in maintaining your property! Even small things like hiring someone to clean your carpet or having your windows regularly washed can contribute a lot to ensuring your property’s longevity.
