Costs & budgeting guides

A renovation budget is only as reliable as the scope behind it. Headline figures rarely survive contact with the actual house, its access and the finishes you choose.

About this topic

What these costs & budgeting guides cover

These guides explain what moves the price for each type of project, which costs sit outside the builder's quote, and how to keep a contingency that reflects real risk.

  • Useful budgets separate known scope, selections, allowances, exclusions, GST and contingency.
  • The lowest initial figure is not automatically the lowest final cost when assumptions differ.
