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!

Pergola Repair [Quote]

$5

Melton VIC, Australia

29th Nov 2023

My pergola is leaking water in a few places during heavy rains, especially around its metal fittings. Not sure about the extent of the damage so I was hoping to get a quote or an onsite inspection. I have tried putting epoxy putty and roof leak sealant but that hasn’t helped. I have attached some photos, let me know what you guys think. P.S. I am putting a budget of $5 as I am not sure about the extent of the damage, this will likely require an onsite inspection and therefore will be a larger quotable job. Once we ascertain the damage and the scope of work needed we can begin the work immediately. - Due date: Flexible

Fantastic work. Came promptly on time and finished the job efficiently. Also gave good recommendations on further steps as he’s knowledgeable in quite a few areas.
