Apartments + multi-residential

Apartment and multi-residential estimating

Apartment estimates need more than a multiplied dwelling rate. EstiFlow separates repeated units from shared cores, basements, vertical transport, services, fire and access scope, then records the documents and assumptions that govern the BOQ and tender pack.

Unit count is part of the commercial guidance, not an automated enforcement gate. A 1–10 unit project generally fits Small, 11–30 Mid and over 30 Large unless a Major trigger applies.

At a glance

Small guidance
Apartments up to 10 units
Mid guidance
Apartments 11–30 units
Large guidance
Apartments over 30 units
01

Shared cores and basement interfaces remain visible

02

Unit guidance is declared, overrideable and reviewed manually

03

Mixed-use boundaries use the relevant area and project logic

What is different about multi-residential?

Repeated units can be measured efficiently, but shared cores, stairs, lifts, basements, services distribution, fire separation, acoustic requirements, access and external works can dominate the commercial risk. These are kept separate from the unit repetition.

How does mixed-use fit?

Mixed-use projects are guided by value and relevant area. Up to 2,500m² generally sits in Mid guidance; over 2,500m² generally sits in Large, subject to Major triggers and manual review.

When does the project request a quote?

A construction value of at least A$25M, eight or more above-ground storeys or more than one building returns Request a quote. Our team can also review a genuinely uncertain scope before checkout.
