Almost a third of our way through the year already, 2021 is flying by. Smart Alliances are ever hopeful that we have seen the last of the COVID level changes.

In this newsletter we will summarise the level of information that our fee estimates contain.

What’s in a Fee?

Are you comparing oranges with apples?

Every job has a unique starting point. This starting point varies depending on the type of project you are undertaking. You may not be aware of all of the requirements that will add additional costs.

Does your fee estimate include these items?

We can advise on all the different components required to obtain a building consent. This will provide you with an overall picture of what is involved with your project.

For example: Do you actually need a resource consent, do your fire safety features need to be upgraded, will your effluent system still meet the necessary requirements, do you need an asbestos or contaminated land survey?

Having Resource Management, Engineering, Environmental and Architecture under one roof allows us to offer you a comprehensive picture of everything that is involved in your project and allows you to make more informed choices.
