Transparent,
turnkey pricing: Imagine, if you will: Turning the
key and moving in; everything taken care of! With Timeless Homes, we promise
that is exactly what will happen, unless of course, you would prefer to do
things yourself. That’s right – we can do it all, from turning sod to, well,
planting grass. If you would prefer a more hands-on approach, carrying out
some work yourself, we will be happy to oblige.
Rates per sq.m: Building costs vary greatly
depending on the costs of fittings, fixtures and finishes. We prefer to give
indicative prices based upon a ‘Fully Complete’ home, excluding only
furniture and drapes. Based upon some traditional homes we’ve designed and
priced, here are some indicative rates:
|
Indicative
sq.m rates
|
From $/m²
|
|
Indicative Square
Metre Rates:
Square Metre rates vary depending on numerous factors.
Some of these factors are:
- Wind,
earthquake and snow-loading requirements.
- Building
size. Smaller buildings have higher sq.m rates than larger buildings.
- Building
complexity, single or double storey or more floors.
- Fittings,
fixtures and finishes selection.
- Historically
correct detailing.
- Site
conditions, site slope, soil conditions and geotechnical factors.
Variations to
indicative rates:
These variations are indicative for average dwelling
sizes, situated on average size town lots or on rural sections. Each and
every site is different, so each project can have different prices for
these items. We have, by looking at historical data from several projects,
arrived at indicative rates for the average home size. Larger homes will
generally have lover figures added for these services / materials and
smaller homes will have higher amounts added.
Energy Efficiency
Upgrades:
Combining at least three out of these five ‘add-ons’
will provide you with a highly energy efficient home. When clients add
these ‘add-ons’ they typically experience much higher comfort levels in
their homes and greatly reduced energy expenditure, especially for heating
and cooling costs. It is possible to have up to 75% savings over heating
and cooling costs in the average new home, built to or beyond building code
requirements. We like to remind customers that Building Code Standard is
“pretty standard” and not necessarily that great! We can, and routinely do
much better. You really can have a new home and have minimal heating and
cooling costs.
Further changes to
above rates:
These figures are indicative based upon recent prices
calculated for our clients. Some clients prefer to do their own painting.
Others may have their own plumber or electrician. We are very flexible and
will always work with you to make your dream home a reality.
These indicative rates include GST. Rates subject to
change without notice.
