How to Choose the Best Carpentry in Melbourne
A checklist before hiring any carpentry in Melbourne, Melbourne.
- 1
Verify their electrical licence is current at your state's electrical safety authority (e.g. Energy Safe Victoria, NSW Fair Trading).
- 2
Confirm they carry public liability insurance of at least $5 million — ask to see the certificate.
- 3
Get 2–3 written quotes for any job over $500. A written quote protects both parties and clarifies the full scope.
- 4
Check their Google and TradeRefer ratings — look for consistent reviews mentioning punctuality, clean workmanship, and clear communication.
- 5
Ask whether they'll provide a Certificate of Compliance (electrical safety certificate) on completion, as required by law in most states.
FAQs — Carpentry in Melbourne, Melbourne
How much does a carpenter charge per hour in Australia?
Carpenters typically charge $80–$140 per hour. Specialised work like heritage restoration or custom joinery commands higher rates. Day rates range from $400–$700 for an experienced tradesperson.
Do I need council approval to build a deck in Australia?
Decks under 600mm above ground generally don't require approval in most states, but thresholds vary. Check your local council — larger decks, those attached to a dwelling, or decks in bushfire zones almost always require a permit.
What timber is best for an outdoor deck in Australia?
Hardwoods like Merbau, Spotted Gum, and Ironbark are durable and naturally resistant to insects. Treated pine is a cost-effective option but requires regular oiling. Composite decking (e.g., Trex) offers low maintenance with a higher upfront cost.
How long does it take to build a deck?
A standard 30–40m² timber deck takes 3–5 days to frame and board. Allow additional days for stairs, balustrades, and finishing. Weather delays are common — factor in an extra day or two in your planning.
What's the difference between a carpenter and a cabinetmaker?
A carpenter handles structural and site work — framing, floors, decks, doors, windows, and rough carpentry. A cabinetmaker specialises in furniture and fitted storage (kitchens, wardrobes, built-ins). Some tradespeople are qualified in both.
