Preliminary Design & Costing Assessment – Your First Step to Building

Building a new home or extending your existing space is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. Where do you start? How much will it cost? What’s possible on your block? At Buildpoint, we take the guesswork out of the process, helping you move forward with confidence.

Introducing Our Preliminary Design & Costing Feasibility Assessment

For just $4400 (including GST), our Preliminary Design & Costing Assessment gives you a clear roadmap before you commit to a build. This investment includes:

A personalised consultation to understand your goals
Professionally drafted preliminary concept plans
A detailed scope of works tailored to your project
Price modelling that provides an accurate cost estimate
Connection to a trusted, high-quality builder
Buildpoint oversight to ensure a smooth process

This service is designed for typical residential dwellings up to 600m², including renovations and extensions. It does not cover commercial projects, multi-townhouse developments, or other complex builds. If your project falls outside this scope, you can request a custom quote.

If you proceed with a contract, we’ll credit the $4400 back to you, making this a risk-free way to plan your build.

The 3 Easy Steps to Planning Your Build

Step 1: Draw Concept Plans

We start by developing preliminary concept plans that align with your vision, site conditions, and design goals.

Step 2: Establish Estimated Build Cost

With our price modelling, you’ll receive an accurate cost estimate—guaranteed to be within 5% of a HIA Fixed Price Contract—so you can confidently plan your budget.

Step 3: Connect with a BuildPoint Builder Partner

We match you with a trusted, proven, high-quality builder who can bring your vision to life. Plus, BuildPoint will oversee the entire process to ensure a seamless experience.

What Happens After the Assessment?

Once you’ve completed your Preliminary Design & Costing Assessment, here’s how we guide you through the next stages:

1. Drafting & Documentation Contract

When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll offer a Drafting & Documentation Contract. This includes:

Working drawings
Engineering & site plans
Council and building permit preparation

These detailed documents are essential for finalising your build and submitting for approvals.

2. Final Costing & Build Contract

We collaborate with one of our trusted builders to finalise the cost and prepare a HIA Fixed Price Contract, aligned with your plans and the earlier estimate.

3. Build Begins – with BuildPoint Oversight

Construction begins under the care of your builder—handpicked by BuildPoint. We stay involved to help with any design changes, queries, or decisions that may arise, ensuring your project stays on track.
