Pricing guide

Costs are driven by how much opening-up and repair is needed and whether the job involves structural or water-damage remediation. Work that requires engineer input, temporary propping, extended drying or multi-trade coordination is typically more involved and usually increases labour and material needs. Permits, specialist remediation or unexpected discoveries can also add to the overall scope.

  • Structural involvement and engineering

    Jobs involving load-bearing framing or engineering design usually require more investigation, temporary supports and higher labour input.

  • Extent of demolition or opening-up

    Greater exposure of concealed elements generally increases diagnostic time and the likelihood of additional repairs being needed.

  • Water damage and mould remediation

    Visible water damage or mould typically requires extra demolition, drying/dehumidification and replacement of affected materials.

  • Temporary shoring and propping

    Where temporary supports are needed the work usually takes longer and involves additional materials and setup.

  • Multi-trade coordination and permits

    Jobs needing other trades, waste removal, design documentation or council approvals are generally more complex and take longer to complete.
