    We are looking at building a Unit on a 300m2 lot. Doing some preliminary estimates and we really have no idea what a 2 or 3 bdrm unit will cost. Can anyone help please.

    Thanks

    There’s a good construction cost calculator on the BMT site http://www.bmtqs.com.au/Calculators.aspx

    Cheers

    remember to use the correct table. Don’t look @ unit costs you’ll need house costs – totally different scenarios.

    Thanks Ruth and Scott for your advise. Scott why do you say look at house costs not unit costs?

    Generally the costs (from Rawlinsons) exclude things like preliminaries, underground parking, landscaping etc so the rates for units is generally lower than house costs. as the unit would be a one-off youd be looking at using the architecturally designed house solution not a project home (unless one would work on the site).
