The per-square-metre cost for labour that we use is $1100 for a new home and $1600 for a renovation.
Labour includes the cost of installing waterproofing, plumbing, tiling, electrical items, gyprocking, painting and the installation of fittings. The per-square-metre cost for labour that we use is $1100 for a new home and $1600 for a renovation (renovations require the old bathroom to be gutted). We obtained these values by getting prices from various bathroom installation specialists and then taking an average. If your project is a bathroom 'makeover', rather than a full renovation, this calculator can help you estimate the cost of new fittings. The average size of a Gyprock® installation is about 170 square metres. With a $5 difference in supply and installation rates for plasterboard, that can amount to a difference in quotes of nearly $900. Clearly, it's worth getting quotes from plasterers if you want to get the best price. Just remember that the lowest quote is not always the best quote. Some of the very straight forward homes come out at $11.50 per m2. Material costs are as low as $3.00 per m2 for 10mm plasterboard. You really need to shop around untill you get a fair dinkum price and not someone price gouging. PS Rod1949 shop that price around you can do better than that particularly the villaboard. In reality, the cost to build a home from a kit is almost twice the cost of the kit itself. That is, the actual kit delivery comes after many processes have taken place. For example: buying land, drawing of plans, soil tests, surveying, house pad excavation an d foundations. Th ere's $20-30k without the cost of land. They are mostly cost to lockup, so the cost to build a kit home will be at least 100% more plus land. House kits with prices on the net should be taken with a grain of salt and investigated to see the true nature of the offer, especially if you are an owner builder.
