Optional contractor matching

Want up to three verified contractors to contact you about your project? You can now submit your project for review with explicit permission to share your details. This is optional: the free cost estimator is available without sharing your information. No paid contractor lead delivery is live yet.

Before you start

  1. Measure the project and record site conditions.
  2. Compare material units, quantities, and waste allowances.
  3. Get dated local supplier prices and written contractor quotes.
  4. Check permits, insurance, and code questions with qualified professionals.

Important: NSW estimates depend on entered assumptions and may not reflect current local labor or material prices. The downloadable tool is not a professional quote, live supplier-price feed, or guarantee of final project costs.
