UNDERSTANDING THIS COST ESTIMATE
The build cost estimate range provided by PropDocs is an Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) designed to increase your awareness of potential project expenses. It is not a comprehensive or binding cost assessment. The following conditions apply:
- Information and Assumptions: The estimate is based on the information provided by the client and the assumptions detailed in the submitted form. Accuracy of the estimate depends on the accuracy and completeness of the provided information.
- ProCalc Algorithm: PropDocs utilises the ProCalc algorithm, which models cost estimates based on thousands of builders’ projects across Australia. This algorithm is updated daily to reflect current market conditions and reviewed every 30 days using data from Australian residential builders. The algorithm considers factors such as project type, size, scope, location, materials, design specifics, and market dynamics.
- Market Variability: Cost estimates are subject to fluctuations in the construction market. Significant changes in market conditions or unforeseen circumstances may affect the actual cost of your project.
- No Guarantee: The OPC range is provided for reference purposes only and includes GST for materials and construction. PropDocs does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the estimate and expressly disclaims any liability for decisions made based on it. Recommendation
We strongly advise engaging a licensed professional, such as a quantity surveyor or builder, who can conduct a comprehensive on-site evaluation and review detailed plans to provide a formal and accurate quotation. Relying solely on this estimate without seeking professional advice may lead to financial loss.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), PropDocs and its affiliates disclaim all representations and warranties, express or implied, regarding the OPC and related information. PropDocs, its employees, and agents are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages or losses, including but not limited to loss of profits, arising from the use of this estimate or reliance on the OPC.
