Top Building & Construction related questions

Prices vary depending on several factors like your location, your preferred materials, the complexity of the project, and your main contractor. On average, the cost of building a house ranges from $100 to $150 per square meter.

While this is possible, it’s not ideal to build your own property unless you have proven experience and the proper gear for construction work. Hire a Tasker instead to save you from the stress and hassle of overseeing the construction project. By working with a legitimate builder, you can ensure a smooth process, durable finish, and strict compliance with building industry codes.

The duration of your project depends on several factors, including the size of your property, type of service, number of Taskers involved, and level of customisation required.


As a general guide, constructing a shed can take a few days to several weeks, depending on your Tasker’s skill level and the materials used. Building a gazebo varies with the material. A simple wooden frame can be constructed in six to 12 hours with two to three people, while a custom build may take one to two days with a full contractor team. For home building and construction, tract and spec home builders take at least seven months to finish a house. Custom homes can take anywhere between nine months to a year for a full completion. 


For a more accurate and clear understanding of the timeline of your construction project, consult your Tasker.

Not necessarily. Your Tasker will have the necessary tools like hammers and nails, screws, saws, screwdrivers, and many others. However, if you have your own tools and prefer to use them, you can arrange this with your Tasker. Simply inform them beforehand so they know which tools to bring.

When choosing a home builder, consider their accreditations, licences, and certifications. Look for solid experience and a proven portfolio with a strong success record. Assess the builder's team—each member should be experienced and well-coordinated. Make sure they prioritise high-quality materials and demonstrate top-notch workmanship. Ultimately, select a builder who can meet your specific needs and preferences as a client.

It would be ideal if you already have a clear vision of what your property will be for and what it would look like. If you have yet to finalise this, consider hiring an interior architect to help you come up with a concrete idea for the design and layout of your property.

In addition to home builds and renovations, local builders in my area can help with garage conversions, deck installations, basement remodeling, fencing, drywall repair, and even custom carpentry. You can post any construction-related task and get matched with a qualified builder near me.


Yes, depending on your state and the scope of the work, certain building and construction services may require a licensed professional. Always check local regulations, and feel free to ask your Tasker about their certifications or licenses before booking.


Absolutely. Most small builders near me are happy to schedule an on-site visit to assess your project. This helps clarify expectations, gather accurate quotes, and ensure you're both aligned before work begins.
