Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Apr 27, 2012 11:49 am Hi, I'm new here and hope I'm posting in the right area... We are hoping to do some renovations, and an extension to our house. We certainly expected it to be costly, but nearly fell over when a certain much advertised business gave us a rough quote. Our ideas are not set in stone, and we are certainly open to expert advice regarding the best use of space, feasibility, budget etc... Does anyone have a recommendation for a reasonably priced builder in the area? Many thanks in advance! Re: Building Contractor in the Maitland (NSW) area? 2Jun 18, 2012 2:07 pm Hi, I would have to agree with you regarding the prices being charged by certain contractors in the Maitland area. Our other problem is getting contractors to actually come back to us with a price. We've had about four out to give quotes on various things (we've lots of jobs to get done) and they've came, stayed for an hour taking notes etc, and then we never hear from them again. We're ploughing on and doing as much as we can ourselves and will only get people in now when we have to for things like plumbing, gas, and electrics.
