How My Build Cost works

What’s the My Build Cost difference?

Traditionally, you couldn’t get an accurate build estimate without going through a design process with an architect, designer or builder. This is a time-consuming and expensive path that can lead to disappointment and frustration if the build costs exceed your budget.

My Build Cost flips the process to start with a project scope, an easy-to-read floorplan, and accurate build cost – before you start the design journey

About My Build Cost

Our story and expertise

As a registered builder and qualified carpenter for over 35 years, I realised how difficult it was to accurately estimate a project for clients without plans. I also saw how frustrating and disappointing it was for people who had invested in plans only to find out their build cost was way over budget. I knew there was a gap in the building planning process, and I decided to find a way to fix it.
