Our Proven Pricing Process
STEP 1
Qualifying Budget Estimate (QBE)
A comprehensive, full-day project feasibility study completed by our estimating team.
Key points as icon list or bullets:
-
Labour — the biggest risk in any custom build
-
Materials — benchmarked to current market rates
-
Subcontractors — based on real data from recent projects
We break your project into up to 30 labour categories, calculating hours and costs for every task. This produces a realistic budget range with a target accuracy of ±10%, depending on documentation.
Know exactly where your money is going — before committing to full design and documentation.
STEP 2
Final Build Estimate (FBE)
A fully costed, ready-to-build proposal based on completed construction documentation.
Once your project is approved at the QBE stage, our team invests significant time developing a detailed proposal outlining every allowance in your build.
