Quantity Surveying that offers NO Surprises

Hi, I’m Hai Nguyen, founder of Newin Building Estimating Services, and that’s what I’ll help you do – cost and manage your building projects to ultimately ensure your project gets completed to budget and without any cost surprises.

We are a local property and construction advisory firm specialising in Quantity Surveying and Cost Management services. We work with domestic, commercial, and industrial builders, home-owners, architects, and developers at various phases: prior to construction, during construction, and post-construction.

Our why?

Over the years we’ve seen clients get caught out with poor project tracking systems, inaccurate costings, or simply “paying too much”, sadly leaving many financially strained.

We have a proven risk management system and industry track record for addressing all these.

The result- is greater confidence that your project will be delivered on time and within budget.

With offices across Sydney, Melbourne, as well as Auckland, New Zealand, and powered by 18 year’s + experience in the construction industry, and over 7000 reports behind us, we’d love to share how we can help with your building project whether it’s a renovation, new home build, commercial or even a high-rise residential project.

I’m Building in the Upper North Shore Sydney! Do I need a Section 94 Council report?

If you are considering a new development project with estimated costs in excess of $500,000, then you are likely going to need a Section 94 Quantity Surveyor Report.

It is mandatory for a Section 94A form and cost estimate to be carried out by a registered quantity surveyor. The Section 94 Council Report is then submitted along with the development application to your local Sydney area council.

A Quantity Surveyor Report and Section 94 Council Reports can be undertaken by chartered surveyors and those quantity surveyors registered with the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors.

More about the importance of smart project planning

Failure to accurately plan the cost of your Upper North Shore Sydney construction can affect everybody involved with the project. You or your client can be left with an unfinished project and no budget to finish it, and architects and contractors may be out of pocket for work that they have already completed.

In a lot of cases, a failed project can further impact finances via long-drawn-out legal action.

The importance of project cost planning goes beyond ensuring the best chance of finalising the construction, as actual costs can also help ensure you get the best ROI for every dollar invested.

 

Save at least 10% on your building cost

In most Upper North Shore building costing jobs completed by Newin, we’ve been able to save clients from 10% to 15% because of our unique process which highlights opportunities for savings that may otherwise slip by unnoticed.

With most projects reaching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, it’s not hard to see that these sorts of savings can potentially reduce the cost of your project by tens of thousands of dollars.

Building Costs in Sydney Update 2023

Almost a million new homes are forecast to be built in Australia for the five years between 2023 and 2028. It’s 35,000 short of the government’s goal and assumes no further increases to the cash rate. It also does not factor in land supply as a constraint on detached home building. Unfortunately, homeowners have yet to face the full impact of an increasing cash rate on their mortgages, and the ramifications may continue to influence the building supply industry well into 2024.
