Both. Simple jobs often have fixed quotes ($150–$500+); ongoing work uses hourly rates ($70–$120/hour before GST). Always clarify with your carpenter upfront.
Usually $80–$150 to attend and assess. Most carpenters waive it if you hire them. Emergency or after-hours work may attract a surcharge of 25–50%.
Provide photos, measurements and details. Get quotes from 2–3 carpenters. Quote should itemise labour, materials and any extra costs like travel or site prep.
No. Add 10% GST to labour and some materials. Quotes should specify GST clearly. Licensed carpenters must be registered ABN holders.
