Fixed-fee Bills of Quantities, trade breakdowns and pre-tender estimates for builders in Sydney and across New South Wales. Five business days, delivered by email.

Working with Sydney builders

Structmate is based in Sydney, so this is home ground. We prepare Bills of Quantities and trade breakdowns for builders across the metropolitan area and regional New South Wales — from knockdown rebuilds in the inner west to townhouse developments in the north-west growth corridor and duplexes across the south-west.

What matters when measuring NSW projects

Sydney's residential market puts particular pressure on measurement accuracy. Land costs mean projects are built to the edge of what the site allows, so basements, split levels, retaining and boundary conditions turn up constantly on jobs that would be simple slabs elsewhere. Complying development under the Housing SEPP has pushed a lot of work through a faster approval path, which means builders are pricing from CDC drawing sets on short timeframes. Those sets are often lighter on structural detail than a full CC set, and that has to be handled with stated assumptions rather than quiet guesses.

Areas covered

Parramatta, Blacktown, Liverpool, Penrith, Campbelltown, the Hills District, Sutherland Shire, Northern Beaches, inner west, eastern suburbs, Central Coast, Wollongong, Newcastle and the Hunter. If your project sits outside these areas, it makes no difference — the work is remote and the fee is the same.

Questions from Sydney builders

Do you work with builders in Sydney?

Yes. Structmate works with builders across Sydney and New South Wales. Delivery is fully remote by email, so the fee and the five business day turnaround are identical to any other part of Australia.

Do I pay more because I'm not in Sydney?

No. Because there are no site visits and no travel, location has no effect on the fee. A job in Sydney is quoted from the same rate card as a job around the corner from us.

How do I send drawings from Sydney?

By email, or a Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive link if the files are large. Nothing needs to be posted or delivered physically.
