Locations We Cover

We have market rate data for all major Australian cities and suburbs including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin, Newcastle, Geelong, Wollongong, and surrounding areas.

Pricing varies by location. Inner-city suburbs often cost 10-20% more than outer suburbs. Regional areas may have different rate structures.

What Makes a Quote Fair?

A fair quote falls within 10-15% of the market rate for similar work in your area. We consider labour hours, material costs, job complexity, access difficulty, and local pricing variations.

Quotes more than 25% above market rate are flagged for review. This doesn't mean they're wrong, but there should be a clear reason for the premium pricing.

For Service Providers

If you're a tradie or service provider, you can use this too. Check your own quotes against market rates to make sure you're pricing competitively without undercharging.
