Pricing guide
Costs are mainly driven by whether the work is a minor non-structural repair, a full replacement, or a structural/high-finish job requiring specialist skills. Material quality, disposal needs and site access typically add to the total, while after-hours attendance and any required engineering or scaffolding coordination can further increase scope. Customer-supplied materials may reduce the contractor’s material allowance in some cases.
Job type and complexity
Non-structural repairs are generally simpler and quicker than full replacements or structural/high-finish work that needs specialist skills.
Materials and timber selection
Premium or specialty timber and longer lead times typically increase scope and scheduling, while customer-supplied materials can reduce the contractor’s material allowance.
Removal and disposal requirements
Modest removal is usually included for replacements, but large disposals or skip hires are treated as separate scopes and add to the job.
Access and site conditions
Restricted access, uneven ground or the need for temporary works like scaffolding usually make the job take longer and require extra equipment.
Specialist skills and coordination
Heritage matching, structural repairs or required engineer input often need specialist trades and extra coordination beyond a standard repair.
