One of the most common questions we receive regarding construction projects is "What will it cost to build my project?".
While there is plenty of information available online that may give you a rough idea of construction costs, it's often based on historical data or published cost ranges. Unfortunately, the context of this information is often misunderstood and may not be very helpful.
To obtain a more accurate cost estimate, you need to consider several factors such as the location of the project, the size of the building, quality, and most importantly, current market conditions. This is where our construction cost estimating services can assist you. We specialise in providing accurate cost estimates based on our knowledge of current market pricing and conditions in all regions of NSW and Australia. We take into account all relevant factors that may apply to your project.
In the current post-pandemic construction environment, construction costs can be volatile and dynamic. It is now more important than ever to have an independent opinion on construction costs. As experts in the field, we are well-informed about market trends and can provide you with reliable and accurate cost estimates for your construction project, whether it's a knock-down rebuild, small home renovation or extension, a new dual occupancy dwelling or a commercial project.
If you have architect conceptual drawings, we can use them to create a budget estimate, giving you a more precise understanding of the costs involved in your construction project. The more design information you provide, the higher the level of accuracy we can achieve in the estimate.
Contact us today to see how we can help you with your construction cost estimates and other estimating services in Sydney and NSW Regions and ensure that you have a clear understanding of the costs involved in your project.
We assist builders and architects as well as owners by providing concept and preliminary estimates at early design stages to inform the feasibility of the project.
Many builders are too busy actually building to prepare cost estimate for their clients (before formal quotations are required). We are experienced in assisting builders and their clients by preparing early cost estimates.

Building a new home is an exciting and fulfilling experience, but it also requires a significant investment of time and money. One of the biggest challenges of the building process is accurately estimating the cost of construction. As a homeowner, you want to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the costs involved and that you are not overspending. That is why getting independent construction cost estimates from a quantity surveyor for your new home or renovation is so important.
What is a Construction Cost Estimate?
An independent construction cost estimate is a detailed analysis of the costs associated with building a new home. This type of estimate is performed by an independent, third-party professional such as a quantity surveyor who has experience and expertise in providing building estimating services. They analyse the scope of work, materials, and labour required to build your home, and then provide you with a detailed estimate of the total cost of construction.
Why is an Independent Construction Cost Estimate Important?
We are experienced in preparing detailed cost estimates for residential projects, whether they be complex renovations, new construction, investment dual occupancy dwellings or multi-unit developments.
How much does all this cost?
In addition to residential cost estimating services, we can prepare estimates for other major construction types including but not limited to:
PRELIMINARY & CONCEPT COST ESTIMATING SERVICES
A preliminary or concept estimate is an initial approximation or calculation of the expected cost of a project. It is typically made early in the planning phase and is based on limited information and assumptions (such as concept sketches or DA level drawings). A preliminary estimate is usually less accurate than a detailed estimate, which is based on more comprehensive data and analysis.
Preliminary estimates are used to help owners and architects make initial decisions, such as whether to whether a design is feasible, or to facilitate changes to suit function or cost, or to set an initial budget. However, they should be treated as indicative estimates or guide and not relied upon for precise planning or decision-making. As more information becomes available, preliminary estimates may be revised and updated to reflect a more accurate picture of the project or product.
DETAILED COST ESTIMATING SERVICES
A detailed construction cost estimate is a comprehensive calculation of the costs associated with a construction project, typically used by owners, architects and builders to determine the total cost of a project and to allocate resources and funds accordingly. The estimate takes into account all aspects of the project, including materials, labour, equipment, permits, fees, and overhead costs.
The process of creating a detailed construction cost estimate involves breaking down the project into its individual components such as building elements (structure, finishes, electrical, landscaping, etc) or by builders trade component (carpentry, concrete, tiling, plumbing, etc) and estimating the cost of each component separately.
Other factors that may be included in a detailed construction cost estimate include the cost of equipment, such as bulldozers and cranes, as well as the cost of permits and fees associated with the project. Builder's overhead costs, such as insurance, administrative expenses, and contingencies, may also be included in the estimate.
The level of detail included in a construction cost estimate can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A detailed estimate can provide a more accurate picture of the overall cost of a project, and can help to ensure that adequate resources are allocated to each aspect of the project. It can also help to identify potential cost overruns and to minimize the risk of unexpected expenses during the construction process.
We can provide construction cost estimates on any level of design. Contact us to see how we can help.
