Fees

Four ways to engage us, priced in the open

Most consultants make you ask. We would rather you knew before the first call whether we are the right size for your project — so here is how our fees work, from a one-off health check through to end-to-end delivery of the whole build.

No project is too small. We take on minor works as readily as major works.

Project Health Check

A one-off independent diagnostic for owners and boards on a project that feels off-track, has changed hands, or is approaching a critical decision.

From $12,000 Fixed lump sum, scoped and confirmed within 48 hours of receiving your documents.

Basis
Fixed fee, scaled to project value and document volume
Duration
2–3 weeks from document receipt
Invoicing
50% on commencement, 50% on delivery of the findings report

Credited back in full if you proceed to a Project Management or Full Lifecycle engagement within 90 days of the findings report — proceed, and the diagnostic costs you nothing.

Advisory & One-Off Reviews

Senior input on a single decision or document — tender review, programme audit, methodology review, or support through a dispute.

Fixed fee, quoted per scope Priced against a defined deliverable, so you know the full cost before we start.

Basis
Lump sum against a defined deliverable; day rate available for as-needed support
Duration
Typically 1–3 weeks

No retainer, no minimum term. Use us for one question and nothing more.

Project Management

Standing client-side delivery leadership for a defined phase or the whole build — one accountable team across design, procurement and construction.

1.5% – 2.5% of final construction contract value, fixed at appointment within the quoted band.

Basis
Percentage fixed at appointment on project complexity, stage and duration
Term
Defined phase or full delivery

Superintendency is an option, not an assumption — added to this scope and priced separately if you want it.

Full Lifecycle

Our most comprehensive engagement: full project management, superintendency, and the whole AI back office running from feasibility to defects close-out.

2.5% – 3.5% of final construction contract value, staged across feasibility, procurement, delivery and close-out.

Basis
Percentage fixed at appointment; staged to milestones that align with board approvals
Term
Feasibility to the end of the defects liability period

One accountable partner for the entire project life, with a four-hour average RFI turnaround.

Fee Principles

The five that never move

No contingent fees We are never paid on the contractor's outcome. Independence is not negotiable.
AI systems included The reading machines are how we work. They are never a line-item extra.
Transparent basis The fee basis is agreed in writing before commencement — no surprise variations.
Disbursements at cost Travel beyond the metropolitan area, printing and third-party charges pass through at cost, with no margin.
Rates held Quoted fees hold for 60 days, and for 12 months once you engage us.

All amounts are in Australian dollars and exclusive of GST. Figures are indicative pending confirmation of project scope, value and document volume, and every engagement is confirmed in a written proposal against your specific project. Statutory fees, authority charges and third-party consultant fees are excluded. Legal advice, expert witness work and formal dispute proceedings are excluded and quoted separately if required. Any change to an agreed scope is confirmed by variation before additional fees are incurred.
