What will your remedial works actually cost?

No — it's a budgeting guide based on delivered project data. A real fixed price is confirmed after a building investigation, which finds the actual cause and extent of the defect. The estimate is deliberately a range because no two buildings fail the same way.

Because remedial cost depends on what's found once work opens up. Two balconies that look identical can have very different membrane and structural conditions underneath. The range reflects that honestly rather than quoting a single number we'd have to revise later.

No. The estimate appears on screen instantly — no form, no email required. If you want an exact fixed price, that's where a quick conversation comes in.

The indicative programme covers the works on site once approved — it doesn't include the investigation, design, or committee approval stages beforehand. Staged works in occupied buildings can run longer to keep residents in place.

If the range fits your budget, the next step is a free assessment. A registered builder visits, investigates the actual defect, and gives you a documented, fixed-price scope your committee can approve. No obligation.

It is a genuine range, not a quote. The estimator maps what you tell it about the building and the defect against how Sydney remedial packages actually price, which is enough to sanity-check budgets and brief a committee. The real number needs investigation and an engineer-defined scope, because the biggest cost driver is what sits behind the finishes.

Most projects Atomic Projects takes on start around $100K, and typical remedial packages fall between $200K and $2M+ depending on scope, access, staging and compliance requirements. Isolated repairs cost less but often signal a wider issue worth investigating. The estimator gives you a building-specific range in a few minutes without needing documents to get started.

Only what you already know: the building type, the element that is failing, roughly how widespread the symptoms are and any access constraints. You do not need an engineer's report, drawings or previous quotes to get a range. The more of that material you have later, the faster the range converts into a fixed, comparable price.

Because without a specification, every builder prices a different guess: one assumes a patch, another assumes strip-back and rebuild. The spread reflects different scopes, not different efficiency. An engineer's specification fixes the scope so quotes become comparable, and it is why prices collected after investigation are consistently more reliable than prices collected from a walk-through.

Yes, it is free, and no, it commits you to nothing. It exists so strata managers, committees and owners can get a realistic range before deciding whether to investigate further. If the range fits your budget thinking, the next step is an assessment and a defined scope; if not, you have lost a few minutes, not a consulting fee.
