What to know about Construction management
Construction management is a procurement model rather than a job title. Instead of one builder holding a lump sum contract and subcontracting the work, the project is broken into trade packages, and a construction manager tenders, awards and coordinates them while the owner carries the trade contracts and the cost. The attraction is transparency: you see every trade price, and the manager's fee is visible rather than buried in a margin.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size and scope of the project
- Structural changes, such as moving or removing walls
- Plumbing, electrical and HVAC work involved
- Finishes and materials chosen
- Design, drawings and permits
- Condition of the existing house once it's opened up
- Access to the site and the timeline
How to choose construction managers in Sandhurst
- Look for a contractor who has finished projects similar in size and type to yours, and ask to see them.
- Get a written contract with the scope, the payment schedule, the timeline and how changes will be priced.
- Ask who will manage the job day to day and how often you'll get updates.
- Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and that their trades are licensed where required.
- Compare quotes on the same scope, and ask what each one leaves out.
- For structural changes, make sure an engineer or designer is involved where needed.
Questions to ask construction managers before you hire
- Who will pull the permits, and who will be there for inspections?
- Which parts of the job will you do yourselves, and which will go to subcontractors?
- How do you handle change orders and unexpected problems once walls are open?
- What is the payment schedule, and what is each payment tied to?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship, and is it in writing?
- Can I speak with a few of your recent clients?
Construction management permits in Victoria
Some construction management work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Victoria
General contracting and renovation
A company must be registered as a building practitioner to enter into major domestic building contracts, or to be named as builder on a building permit for major domestic building work or other work above a value threshold. The BPC warns that serious penalties apply for saying, or implying, that you or your company are registered when that is not true.

General contracting and renovation
The National Construction Code sets the technical provisions for designing and constructing buildings and plumbing and drainage systems, but it has no force of its own: the ABCB states that the NCC is given legal effect through state and territory building and plumbing legislation, and that adoption dates are set by each state's administration. Requirements can apply at different times, or not at all, because of state variations — and the ABCB notes that gasfitting and electrical work are not covered by the NCC at all.

Guides about construction management
- ✦
Builders guide
In Australia the person who takes on a whole renovation is usually called a builder, and on larger jobs a building contractor or project manager.
Read guide - ✦
Home Renovations guide
A home renovation is work on a house you already own: reworking rooms, replacing what has worn out, opening up a plan that no longer suits the household. Australian housing stock makes that a very wide category.

Whole Home Renovations guide
A whole-home renovation takes the entire house at once: every room stripped back, the plan redrawn, the services renewed and the finishes replaced, often with part of the building demolished and rebuilt.

Common construction management questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
