Project estimator
Price it
before the site visit.
Pick a project, set the floor area and the finish level. You'll see a realistic budget range and how long it takes on site.
What moves the price
Four things
set your budget.
Structure
Removing walls, adding beams or new foundations is where most budgets grow. A site visit tells us early.
Services
Moving plumbing, drainage, gas or the electrical panel adds trades and inspections.
Finish level
Cabinetry, tiles and fixtures can double the cost of the same floor area. You choose, room by room.
Access & age
Tight access, older homes and hidden damage take longer. We price what we can see and flag the rest.
Estimates
How accurate
is this?
Where do the rates come from?
They are the ranges we see on recent projects of each type, per square foot, before extras. Your quote replaces them once we've measured.
What isn't included?
Permit and inspection fees charged by your city, furniture, and anything you supply yourself. The contingency covers small surprises.
Why a range and not a price?
Two kitchens of the same size can differ by tens of thousands. A range is honest until we've seen the structure and services.
How fast is the fixed quote?
Usually within three weeks of the site visit, together with measured drawings and a programme.
