What percentage of the total building cost (as calculated from Rawlinson's cost guide) should I allow for the builder's margin?
What kind of margin do small builders work on usually?
Thanks
Hi alfrescodining.
i have been using the information and feasibility software ii found on realestatesdevelopmentcoach.com
the feasibility study is in excel and will show you step by step detail how everything is laid out when breaking down costs…i didnt know alot of the costs involved until it was already pre-laid out in front of me. it also helps produce a month-by-month estimate of construction costs, development costs, development loan utilization and repayment, project absorption and other costs associated with my project
there much more detail i can say…but hope it helps!
all the best in your endevour,
Cheers,
Jillhere’s a free youtube video talking about the development feasibility study for you
