What shapes the cost of a project — and of the study itself
A cost study is priced by how much has to be measured and priced. The project cost it produces moves with a different set of factors.
- Size and type. A private villa, a commercial building and a fit-out are measured in different ways.
- Specification level. The same floor area can double in cost between a standard and a high specification.
- Completeness of drawings. Priced from a full set, a study is accurate; priced from sketches, it is a range.
- Site conditions. Soil, access, demolition and existing services all carry cost before any building starts.
- Market movement. Material prices shift, which is why a study states its validity period and its assumptions.
We do not publish rates, because a rate without a specification is a number that means nothing. A study tells you what your project costs and, just as usefully, which decisions are moving that figure.
Frequently asked questions
What does a cost study include?
Quantities taken off the drawings, priced by trade, with allowances stated openly rather than buried — plus the assumptions the figure depends on, so you can see what changes if a decision changes.
Can a study be done before the design is final?
Yes, as a budget estimate with a stated range. It is refined as the drawings develop. Owners who wait for a final design often commit to a budget too late to influence it.
How does a cost study reduce risk?
It turns a single number into a set of decisions you control, and it gives you a basis for comparing quotations that would otherwise be impossible to compare fairly.
