Labour-only is easy to get wrong

On a labour-only job, the owner supplies the materials and the builder supplies the people. It can save money, but only if the labour price is right.

If you’re an owner-builder, you might have two or three labour-only packages in front of you that look nothing alike. If you’re a builder, you need to price the labour on its own without your usual material margins to cushion a mistake.

Either way, you need a clear view of the hours and the cost.

What you get

The labour broken down by stage (foundations, framing, roofing, cladding, fit-out and so on), so you can compare packages line by line instead of on a single total.
A realistic labour cost for your plans, so you know whether a package is fair before you sign it.
A fixed fee agreed before we start.

Questions people ask

Can you compare two labour-only quotes?
Yes. Send us both with the plans, and we’ll show you how they line up against each other and against our own numbers.

Do you cost the materials too?
If you want the full picture, we can cost materials separately so you can see the whole job. Just ask when you send your plans.

How much does it cost?
It depends on the size of the job. You’ll get a fixed fee first, with no obligation.
