Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Apr 18, 2021 10:36 pm Hi all I am about to commence an OB project (design phase). This will be a double story home approx. 50sq. Was wondering if anyone had any pricing and could help me out with estimating costs for the following items: 1. Fixed windows 1500W x 2400H (frame only, assume site glazed) - I've assumed $750 per frame 2. Glazing costs per window - I've assumed $220 per sqm 3. Gutters + facia - I've assumed $100 per lineal meter 4. Rendering - I've assumed $55 per sqm 5. Plastering - I've assumed $100 per sqm 6. Ballustrade (stand off fixing type, similar to this: https://www.northfieldglass.co.uk/wp-co ... system.jpg) - $650 per lineal meter 7. Painting (standard 2-3 coats white) - I've assumed $10 per sqm Thanks Re: Assistance with estimating OB cost items 2Apr 19, 2021 10:11 am Hey qerti2021 Welcome to the forum I don't know where you got those rates from, nor do I know if you are using Standard Details but they are way off the mark for basic housing. Try this 1. Get a 3D Engineering Bim Model with 1st Stage quantities with primary items modelled here Bricks and Window Quants 2.Send the window Schedule, Plans and Elevations to at least 3 Window Companies for quotes 3. Add the the brick wall areas to the window areas as plastering is measured, costed gross area at $25m2 approx 4. 2nd stage Quantities you will need to check Lintels, Columns, Hardware, etc. BTW I don't 3D model secondary construction and engineering items, unless required for simulations 5. Cross check the above with alternate methods, identify and check cost deviations Cross checking Building Data with 3D Engineering Model lol, Everything you need is on the eithernet and if you want a better reply then put up your 3D model + it also helps others OT retailers are making a huge push for DIY and internet sales...make sure you are (building) compliant and equipped before you journey down that path.

That's supply, install and finish. $8 a linear metre for squareset. Roofing is $75m2 for steel colorbond and $50 a linear metre for guttering. Inc down pipes supply and install.
