Why quotes differ

Labour, demolition, access, materials, relocating services, approvals and hidden conditions (asbestos, rot, non-compliant wiring) all move the price. Two quotes for the “same” job can differ simply because they include different scope.

Checklist for comparing budgets

  • Confirm the scope is identical across quotes.
  • Check what's excluded (disposal, permits, make-good).
  • Confirm GST treatment and how variations are priced.
  • Check warranties and who handles approvals.
