The cost of building materials has increased significantly in recent years across Australia, and Melbourne is no exception. According to various sources, building costs in Melbourne have ballooned 20% in the last 12 months, and the trend is expected to continue.
Matt Saunderson, a quantity surveyor who assesses the costs of major building contracts, estimated that the cost of building materials had risen by about 20% in a year, resulting in at least a $100,000 increase in the cost of an average project home worth $400,000.
