What will your project cost?
Pick the project, where it is and the level of finish. The estimate combines our 2026 cost guides, regional price bands, your council's building consent fees and MBIE's median consent times, so the number includes the parts most quotes leave out.

Estimates for guidance only, not a quote: your site, spec and chosen company decide the real number. Ranges come from our 2026 cost guides with regional adjustments; consent fees are read from each council's own schedule; consent times are MBIE's published medians.
How these estimates are built
The project ranges are the same ones published in our cost guides, drawn from published trade pricing and updated for 2026, then adjusted by regional band. Consent fees are read from each council's own fee schedule, and consent timing is MBIE's quarterly monitoring data. Nothing here is a quote: the same kitchen can land at either end of the range depending on the site and the company, which is why the last step of any estimate is checking who you are about to pay.
