Residential Drafting Services in Sydney: Drafting first, quote second!

It seems to be a common practice when home owners come and ask "how much does it cost to build a house like this"(without any drawings), the answer is 'WE DON'T KNOW'. We can give out an estimate figure but this is NEVER be accurate without proper drawn design on paper.

Depending on the material you use, the complexity of your land, whether it is close to a bush fire zone, where you may need to cut some trees down, whether it is a flood area, and the fitting and fixtures that you use, this is alter the cost significantly. 

If a ball figure is to be given, here is our recommendation:

• New extension: $2500-3000 per square metre
• Internal renovation and partitions reconfigurations - $1500-1600 per square metre
• New house: $2000-2500 per square metre

Now these are only the construction estimate cost, other costs that may be involved including council fees, consultant fees, assessment reports and feasibility studies, design fees etc (to name a few).

So how do I know what I am getting?

Know your budget and speak to a design consultant to help you design something that fits your budget. Remember, no builders can quote you a price without any drawings. Ensure your residential design specialist to cater specifically for your budget and get your DA/CDC approval first. Nothing is more important than getting your finance ready AND stamped approved drawings! 

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.
