Building Contractors — Frequently Asked Questions
Building costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and finish level. A basic 3-bedroom house can cost $15,000-$30,000, while a high-end finish can push costs to $40,000-$50,000 or more. Getting multiple quotes through Tenda helps you find the best value for your budget.
You don't need approved plans to start getting quotes. Many contractors on Tenda can help you with plan drawing and council submissions. However, having approved plans will give you more accurate quotes and speed up the process.
A standard 3-bedroom house typically takes 4-8 months to complete. Timelines depend on the complexity of the design, availability of materials, and weather conditions. Your contractor should provide a detailed timeline before work begins.
All contractors on Tenda are vetted for business registration and work history. You should also ask to see completed projects, check references, and confirm they are registered with the relevant authorities. Never pay the full amount upfront — agree on stage payments tied to milestones.
