The answer to this question relies heavily on the design, size and scope of your project. Many factors affect the cost of building. You can read in more detail in our<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2018cost to build\u2019<\/a>\u00a0article.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is extremely difficult to give a square meter rate as no two builds are ever the same. We can give a rough estimate; however, a proper quote requires extensive understanding of the plans, scope of work, site conditions and level of fixtures and fittings in order to give an accurate and clear build price which outlines exactly what is included and what is not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Construct Central Coast will provide you with an easy to read, detailed and transparent quote which outlines exactly what is included. We will provide a full scope of works, BOQ\u2019s (Bill of Quantities) and detailed Gantt Chart so that you have a complete understanding of what it will cost to build your new home. In order to provide this level of detail, Construct Central Coast requires a full set of Architectural plans with a detailed finishing schedule prior to pricing.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What are Prime Costs and Provisional Sums?” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” open=”off” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_padding=”0px|0px|22px|0px|false|false” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#0A0000″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Sometimes at time of quoting, clients have not decided yet on specific details such as what light bulb you are going to use. There are two common terms used to allow for such variables.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Prime Cost Item (PC) This is an allowance made in a tender or contract for the supply and delivery only of an item or items of material (eg. Taps, light fittings, baths etc) that have not been selected at time of tender or before the contract is signed or for which the contractor was not able to provide a fixed price on entering the contract.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Provisional Sum (PS) This is an allowance made in a tender or contract for particular work which could not be finalised before tendering or signing a contract and which includes the total cost of the supply and installation (eg. Joinery, air-conditioning, landscaping or rock removal).<\/p>\n
