Estimating

Estimating for residential, commercial & industrial projects

Need an estimate for a new project or renovation? If it’s in South East Queensland, we can help!

Cost means time and time means cost. And lost time means added cost

So we use CostX software to prepare our estimates and Bill of Quantities. We specialise in:

Residential estimating
Architectural style estimating
Renovations, extensions & house-raising
Multi-residential
Commercial & industrial
Trades Packages
Subcontractors trades & supplier take offs

Simplified pricing

A quick drive around town shows just how varied construction and design can be. So, rather than providing an individual quote for every job, we base our quotes on the total floor area of your project. Sure, sometimes we under-quote, but that’s life. I’m not a QS for the money, rather the lifestyle.

Bill of quantities

Since we quote based on your total floor area, it’s easy to give you an exact price right here (all prices excl. GST):

Work type	Cost per m²
Residential estimating work (plans drawn by a draftsman or provided by builder)
Project builders standard plans	$5
Custom builders homes	$5
Architectural work (not the cookie-cutter stuff)
Any architectural work (we require detailed working drawings)	$12
Renovations, extensions and house-raising
Extensions under 250m²	$9
Extensions/renovations over 250m²	$8
Architectural projects under 100m²	$15
Architectural projects over 100m²	$12
Multi-residential estimating work (generally body corporate developments)
Lowset	$10
2–3 storey	$12
Commercial & industrial work
Commercial office space style	$15
Large open industrial sheds	$2

Trade estimates

We do all trades, including:

Painting
Carpentry
Gyprock
Render
Concreting (slabs & footings)
Carpentry
Insulation
Tiling
Roofing & rainwater goods

Turnaround timeframes

Our lead time is generally about 5 working days from receipt of payment

What we don’t do

We avoid high rise buildings, as we prefer to stick with small-scale residential work.

Great, quick and reasonably priced!I requested quotes from multiple QS for an IP depreciation report, and not only was Will the most reasonably priced, he was also the quickest to respond, answered all my questions, and managed to find more deductions than other QS thought they would be able to! He then managed to surprise me again by turning around the report in under 6 days (including weekends) from payment!Will went above and beyond, and even honoured last year's price for me when I inadvertently forgot to actually engage Will for my depreciation report. Will definitely use Will in future and refer him to family and friends.

Outstanding Service. Found WRC online - already on top of our list because of the existing 5 star reviews . We asked quote from 4 different mobs - Will replied to us first - with a detailed quote and competitive price while one bombarded us with and marketing emails, and 2 did not even bother to ring or email us back. Everything was settled smoothly and on time with WRC. Will is very professional yet personable and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend WRC Quantity Surveying.

I found WRC Surveying from a google search (we are interstate). They appealed to me as a family owned and run firm. Their price was competitive and I found Will to be very personable on email and phone. They were prompt and did a thorough job. I am very happy with my depreciation report and I happily use them again.

I would recommend Will to anyone who are looking for a efficient & qualified surveyor who provides quality depreciation report with reasonable price. I've just got two reports done by Will and found he was easy to communicate, inspected the houses thoroughly and delivered his reports on time. I really appreciate this kind of work style and wish him the best in the future.

WRC was referred to me by my accountant. Not knowing much about the report I needed, I spoke to Will and he was exceptionally helpful. From knowing exactly what I needed, to arranging access to the property with the rental agency, the whole process was smooth and efficient. Report was simple to understand, and the turnaround time from date of phone call, to date of report was very quick! Would highly recommend WRC and Will - 5/5!!!!!!

From the Onsite of the quoting through to the delivery, the service was impeccable. Appropriate information was provided upfront to ensure a fast inspection and the report is detailed to provide me with a good set of figures.The depreciation will help tremendously and I only hope other people use Will in the future. Very reasonable cost and highly recommend the service to anyone requiring a depreciation report or the services of a quantity surveyor.

I found the contact informaiton from internet of WRC and several other companies, I tried to contact them in German time afternoon, but in Australia it was evening already, however I got reply soon from Will Callaghan. The email was simple but hit points.WRC always response to me in a reasonably short time during communication. I'm happy to go with them for the quantity surveying of my house in Brisbane. The staff in the company is very designated and very thoughtful, I'm sure the quantity survey report prepared by them will be very useful for my tax depreciation needs.I would like to give WRC 5 star rate.

Great customer service, great advice and a great depreciation report. It was truly a pleasure to deal with Will during the preparation of the depreciation schedule for our investment property. Will exceeded expectations in advising us and identifying opportunities to maximise our tax benefits. Will was responsive to our needs, arrived on time and conducted the inspection with professionalism. I highly recommend WRC Quantity Surveying.

We recently purchased our first IP and had WRC Quantity Surveying prepare our depreciation report. Being our first IP it was all knew to us, but Will at WRC answered all our questions, was able to attend the property on short notice, and the report provided is comprehensive and easy to understand. We will definately use WRC again and recommend them to others.

I engaged WRC Quantity Surveying to assess a rental property. Not only did they promptly reply to my initial email, but the assessment was conducted very soon thereafter. Their report was professional, timely and detailed. I was delighted with the reduced tax liability on foot of their excellent work! I would highly recommend them!

I am a taxation professional who recently engaged Will to assess several properties for depreciation/capital works purposes. Will did an excellent job, his final report was well constructed, easy to follow and fairly seamless with what I had done to date tax-wise
