Before you build
Your questions, answered
A clear starting point for planning your home.
Can you help us work out whether our project fits our budget?
Yes. A feasibility estimate gives you an early cost range based on the project information available. It helps you assess your plans, understand the main cost drivers, and decide what to do next before progressing detailed design.
How is a feasibility estimate different from a detailed proposal?
A feasibility estimate is an early budget check, with assumptions and details still to resolve. A detailed proposal prices the defined work from complete drawings, engineering, and specifications. An early estimate is not a fixed construction price.
Why is detailed pricing a paid service?
Preparing a detailed proposal involves reviewing documents, measuring the work, checking specifications, and obtaining project-specific pricing. We agree the scope and fee before this work begins. Feasibility helps you make an earlier budget decision; it does not replace this detailed estimating work.
Do we need finished plans before speaking with you?
No. Bring your brief, site information, and any drawings you have. We can explain what information is needed for a feasibility estimate and where builder input could help during design. A detailed proposal requires complete documentation.
Can you work with our architect or building designer?
Yes. We can contribute during design, reviewing construction details, cost implications, and documentation with your designer. This early contractor involvement is a separate service, with its scope and fee agreed before work starts.
What happens after the feasibility estimate?
We review the result with you and agree the next step. That may mean refining the design or scope, working with your designer to develop the documents, or preparing a paid detailed proposal once the documentation is complete.
What should we bring to the first conversation?
Bring the property address or suburb, any plans you have, your budget range, and your preferred timing. Tell us how you want to live in the home and what matters most. If some details are still undecided, let us know where you need guidance.
Which consultants will our project need?
The team depends on your site and the work proposed. It may include an architect or building designer, structural engineer, soil specialist, building surveyor, and energy assessor. Planning, bushfire, heritage, arborist, or other specialist advice may also be needed. We can discuss the likely requirements with you and your designer.
