Can you really obtain an accurate quote without residential drafting design?

Being a residential drafting services company in Penshurst, it’s interesting that one of the MOST COMMON questions our local clients ask us is “How much does it cost to build………?”

Many people misunderstood that there is no such thing as “it will cost you an exact $______ for this job, because there are too much variation involved. Why, let us show you.

1.        Whether you want it to be a brick wall or a timber wall can vary the price for an extra 20% difference.
2.        Whether you want a stone bench top or a laminate bench top will also vary the price for another 30%.
3.        If you want sliding doors, it’s different to a MDF swing door.

Now, these are only a few things that will give you that “hidden extra cost” that you would not know. And there will be many more.

A lot of the times, builders will tell you that it will be about $1000-$1500 per square metre to build a house, now this is not wrong, but this is ONLY A BALL FIGURE. You will never get to know what’s “inclusive” and “exclusive”.

Therefore, we often recommend our clients to start by getting help with design drawings first and/or residential drafting design services where we cater the exact package and specification based on your needs (and wants) for your home. That way, there is no room for builders to offer you substitute products or telling you “this will cost you extra” sort of business. They will have to follow, quote and build exactly what has been drawn, especially if you required help with DA APPROVALS in Sydney through DA applications or CDC for residential home extensions.

With a set of stamped and approved residential architectural design drawings, you can rest assure that you have the control of the money you spent.
