Contract Estimate
This is where certainty is created. We resolve every remaining selection and specification, and deliver a fixed-price contract — so the price you agree to is the price you pay.
Industry Standard vs. Davies Approach
Provisional sums, prime costs, and allowances leave 20% of the cost undefined. Variations are common.
Every selection resolved, every cost locked in. The price you agree to is the price you pay.
How It Works
Selections & Specifications
Every fixture, fitting, and finish is selected and specified — from tapware and tiles to cabinetry, benchtops, appliances, and lighting. No provisional sums, no prime costs. Every item is chosen, priced, and documented before the contract is signed.
Detailed Scope of Works
We prepare a comprehensive scope of works covering every aspect of your build — structure, envelope, services, internal finishes, external works, and site management. Nothing is left undefined or open to interpretation.
Fixed-Price Build Costing
Using our resolved selections and detailed scope, we produce a line-by-line fixed-price cost breakdown with 99% accuracy. This is the price you'll pay — no hidden costs, no budget blow-outs, no variations for items that should have been included.
Contract & Construction Timeline
You receive a fixed-price contract with clear milestones, a transparent progress-payment schedule, and a locked-in completion date. You'll know exactly what you're getting, when you're getting it, and what it costs — before a single nail is driven.

From Contract to Construction
The Contract Estimate is the final step before construction begins. It converts your approved Project Budget into a binding fixed-price agreement — with every line item, selection, timeline, and payment milestone locked in.
Most builders sign contracts with 80% of the information resolved and rely on variations to cover the rest. We resolve 99% before the contract is signed — because surprises during a build are expensive, stressful, and entirely avoidable.
