Preliminary Estimates are perfect for giving yourself an idea as to the cost of the project. A preliminary estimate is done during a feasibility study when the project is still in the concept stage. It it has an accuracy of plus or minus 5% if the size of the renovation ranges between $200,000 and $1.5 million.
Instead of waiting weeks or even months for a builder to get back to you with a price, get an estimate back in 48 hours. You can even use it to see which builders are trying to rip you off.

How do we calculate preliminary estimates?
We use averaged, square metre prices for similar projects, considering the following factors in our calculations:
- Type of building – E.g. project home, individual house, townhouses, apartments etc. An ambitious project will ramp up costs!
- Building materials – E.g. framed, brick veneer, full brick etc. Your choice of materials could raise (or lower) the estimate.
- Finishing Touches – E.g. basic, medium, high, prestige. A high-quality touch is great for the house but will cost more.
- Location of the project – Prices are indexed to the closest capital city and loadings for regional areas, and applied thereafter.
