Budget Calculator FAQs
We created the Budget Calculator to give schools, colleges, universities, and contractors a quick and simple way to estimate project costs early in the planning process. It helps users understand potential budgets, compare specification levels, and make informed decisions before moving into detailed design and procurement stages.
Our specification levels are designed to help you understand the quality, finish, and scope of furniture and fit-out options available for your project. Each level represents a different standard of materials, design, and functionality — from essential practical solutions to premium, fully customised environments. This helps provide a clearer budget estimate based on your project goals and requirements.
The calculator provides a realistic budget estimate based on the information entered and our experience delivering education projects nationwide. However, the results should be used as a guide only, as final costs can vary depending on project scope, site conditions, timelines, product selections, and installation requirements.
If your space type is not currently available in the calculator, you can still submit a request through our Custom Estimate Form and our team will be happy to assist you. We are also continuously improving the calculator and are already in the process of adding more space types and project categories in future updates.
Once you receive your estimate, our team can help you explore the next steps, including design consultation, specification guidance, product recommendations, and more detailed project costing. The calculator is intended to start the conversation and support early-stage project planning.
The Budget Calculator is ideal for anyone looking to understand the potential project costs of their school spaces before moving into detailed design and procurement. It can be used by schools, colleges, universities, architects, consultants, contractors, and project managers during the early planning stages of a project.
