Buildfix

Melbourne, VIC

Structural crack repair

Foundation-repair and underpinning specialist based in Melbourne, operating in several states.

Across greater Melbourne, seasonal swings in the reactive clay under many older homes are the main driver of the footing movement that leads to this kind of work.

As a 2025 guide, typical underpinning runs about $4,000 to $15,000 and concrete cancer repair varies widely with access -- a guide, not a quote. See the cost guide for the detail.

Use the provider's current licence, insurance and written scope as part of the hiring decision.

Common questions

What services is Buildfix listed for?

On this directory, Buildfix is categorised under Structural crack repair. Confirm the specifics with Buildfix directly, since a directory listing is a starting point for comparison, not a guarantee of current capability.

Is Buildfix licensed and insured?

Licensing and insurance are not part of what this directory verifies. Before hiring Buildfix, ask them directly for current licence and insurance details, and cross-check with your state's building or fair trading authority.

Should I get a structural engineer's assessment before contacting Buildfix?

For anything beyond hairline cosmetic cracking, yes. A structural engineer independently diagnoses whether footings have moved and why, and specifies the repair; a contractor like Buildfix then prices and carries out that repair. Getting the engineer's report first means every quote you get, including from Buildfix, is priced against the same diagnosis.

How much should I expect a job like this to cost?

Underpinning and concrete repair are quote-driven work, typically $4,000 to $15,000 for common residential underpinning jobs, but method, soil and access swing the number a lot. Get a written quote from Buildfix or any contractor you compare, and check it against our cost guide.
