What are the Costs?

12 Aug, 2014

At Rapid Tilt Construction, we often get asked, “What is it going to cost me?” Whilst we can advise you that the cost could be anywhere between $800 per sqm to $1,200 per sqm, there is a list of things which will influence the final cost.

One of the most important questions to be answered is “what is your budget?” This will often influence the majority of what will be included in the quote.

The more accurate the information, the more accurate the price will be. This is why we have created a concept and estimate package that can be tailored to suit your requirements. This will give you the most accurate costing without spending a fortune.
