Priced separately
Asbestos, slabs and footings, pools, trees, excavation, approvals, utility disconnections and difficult access. Anything you’re not sure of is left out of the range and priced in the written quote.
Asbestos needs assessment and its own scope before the total project cost can be set.

Four price bands.
One written quote.
Your estimate comes from one of these bands: the structure of a detached house with reasonable access, including GST. Floor area is the total across all storeys. Your written quote replaces the band once we know the site.

How accurate is the estimate?
It’s an early budgeting range from our own price bands, for the structure of a detached house with reasonable access, including GST. It isn’t a quote: your written quote replaces it once we know the site, and sets out exactly what’s included.
How do I work out the floor area?
Use the house’s floor area, not the land size. For a double-storey home, add both levels together. Plans usually show it; if you don’t have them, an approximate figure is fine for an estimate.
Why isn’t asbestos in the range?
Asbestos needs assessment, and testing where needed, to set its own removal scope. A house built or renovated before 1990 is likely to contain asbestos.
Our team removes non-friable asbestos under a Class B licence. Licensed Class A subcontractors remove friable asbestos, with independent clearance after licensed removal.
How asbestos removal is arrangedWhat counts as reasonable access?
Room for an excavator and trucks to get in and work. Narrow entries, tight turns, overhead lines and steep driveways change the equipment that fits and how material leaves the site, so restricted access is quoted after a look at the site.
Does the range include the slab and footings?
Only when they are written into the quote. Our indicative house prices cover the structure; tell us whether the slab, footings and driveway should go and what your builder needs next.
What if the house is attached, or part of it stays?
Attached, semi-detached or partly retained buildings need a site-specific assessment, including connections, support and any engineering requirements. The removal boundary is then set in writing.
