Design and Building Cost Calculator
Answering the #1 question all architects, builders and consultants all get asked:
“How much will my project cost?”
Fair question. Hard answer.
At the early stages of a project there are simply too many moving parts to provide a precise number with confidence. Site conditions, scope, finish level, consultants, approvals and complexity all influence the final cost.
Most people are not looking for a perfect number at this stage. They simply want to know whether they are broadly in the right range before going further.
This calculator is designed to help estimate your total project investment, not just the construction cost.
Your actual number will vary — it always does — but this will give you a realistic starting point.
To begin, estimate your building size and choose your desired budget level.
Your Estimated Project Breakdown
This is just a guide for the start of your journey. Your final numbers will vary. They always do.

This calculator provides a useful starting point, but it can’t account for your specific site, brief, approvals, or level of finish.
A Second Opinion looks at your actual situation and helps you understand:
• the realistic project cost range
• the biggest cost risks
• where to focus before bigger decisions lock in
