One of the most common questions we hear is 'how much does an energy rating cost?' The answer depends on several factors, but here's a realistic guide to help you budget.
Typical Price Ranges
For a standard new home (single storey, straightforward design), expect to pay between $500 and $900. Two-storey homes or complex designs typically range from $800 to $1,500. Multi-unit developments are quoted per unit and can range from $400 to $800 per dwelling.
What Affects the Price?
Key factors include the size and complexity of your home, number of storeys, glazing percentage, whether you need a preliminary assessment during design phase, your location (prices vary by state), and turnaround time required.
Getting Value for Money
The cheapest quote isn't always the best value. An experienced assessor who provides detailed recommendations can save you thousands in construction costs by identifying the most cost-effective ways to achieve compliance.
