From · NZD incl GST$99
Credited if we buildView extension feasibility planThe three cost plans come as Standard $99 (10 days), Express $199 (5 days) or Priority $299 (2 days), counted in New Zealand calendar days; Priority is subject to availability. The Report Price Check is counted in New Zealand working days. Turnaround begins only after payment and Sarah confirms the required information is complete. Renovation, Recladding and Report Price Check need their documents; Home Extension Feasibility uses the checkout questionnaire with no uploads. These are desktop studies: they give price ranges, not a quote, and they are not a building inspection.
