Buyer tip
The base and drainage are what fail first — always ask how the builder prepares the sub-base, and get the spec in writing before comparing quotes.

What to look for

A current builders licence and public liability insurance (ask for the certificate of currency).
A written, itemised quote covering excavation, base, surface, fencing and lighting.
Recent local court projects you can look at, and how the surface has held up.
