Independent cost estimate
A real-world, independent cost estimate that let the client validate a builder’s pricing before committing to the project.
Overview
The client had a builder’s quote in hand but wanted an independent view on whether it was fair before signing. We prepared a real-world cost estimate from the same drawings, built up from current market rates.
Comparing the two side by side showed the client exactly where the pricing sat, gave them the facts to have an informed conversation with their builder, and the confidence to commit to the right number.
