What determines project cost?

Compare complete scopes, rather than floor area alone.

Size and layout

Floor area, room arrangement, wall lengths, roof form and glazing affect the proposal.

Building specification

Structure, insulation, windows, doors, cladding and required performance influence cost.

Interior finishes

Kitchens, bathrooms, fitted furniture, flooring, lighting and decorative choices shape the budget.

Foundations and site works

Ground conditions, levels, excavation, drainage and any retaining works must be considered.

Services and connections

Electricity, water, foul drainage, heating, ventilation, data and any utility upgrades vary by site.

Access and approvals

Transport, lifting requirements, planning, technical design and professional input are part of the overall assessment.
