Frequently Asked Questions

We specialise in high-quality residential construction. This includes architecturally designed custom new homes, large-scale home extensions, and major renovations, and whole-home transformations. Our focus is on larger projects where our commitment to quality craftsmanship can truly shine.

This is the most common question, and the answer is unique to every project. The final cost depends on factors like site conditions, size, complexity of the design, and the level of finishes you choose. Rather than giving a vague estimate, our process involves working closely with you (and your architect) to develop a detailed, transparent, and fixed-price quote based on your specific plans and selections.

The timeline for a project varies depending on its scope. A major renovation might take 6-12 months, while a custom new home can take anywhere from 12-18 months from breaking ground to handover. This timeline is influenced by the complexity of the build, and site-specific factors. We can always provide a detailed construction schedule before we begin and always keep our clients well-informed along the way

A few things set us apart: our hands-on approach, our experience, communication and our commitment to quality. As a family-owned business led by Jesse Bateman (with over 25 years of experience), we intentionally limit the number of projects we take on. This ensures Jesse can be on-site personally managing every build. This direct oversight, combined with our craftsmanship, guarantees a higher standard of quality and a smoother process for our clients.

Yes, absolutely. We are happy to collaborate with any architect or designer you choose to bring your vision to life. While we have trusted, long-standing relationships with several excellent Tasmanian architects, our priority is always to form a strong, cohesive team with you and your chosen design professional. We believe this collaborative approach is the key to achieving the best results for your home.

Our process is designed to be clear and collaborative. It typically follows these steps:

1. Initial Consultation: We meet to discuss your vision, ideas, and any plans you may have.
2. Detailed Quoting: We provide a comprehensive, fixed-price quote based on your architectural plans and engineering.
3. Contract & Approvals: We sign a clear HIA Plain language building contract and finalise all necessary council approvals.
4. Construction: Our dedicated team brings your vision to life with Jesse providing personal on-site management.
5. Handover: We complete a final walkthrough with you and hand over the keys to your beautiful new home.

Yes, completely. 2B Building Pty Ltd is a fully licensed and insured building company. We hold all necessary insurances, including Public Liability and Contract Works insurance, to give you complete peace of mind throughout the construction process. We are also proud, long-standing members of the Housing Industry Association (HIA).

Our focus is on delivering high-quality custom homes and large-scale renovations and extensions. Because of the level of detail and management we dedicate to each project, we don't typically undertake small maintenance jobs or minor repair work.
