Cost overrun
A developer-builder partnership delivering six fixed-price homes in a new Rolleston subdivision. Standardised plans with limited customization options kept estimating tight while offering buyer choice on kitchens and bathrooms.
Buildxact was used for takeoffs across all lots, with template jobs copied and adjusted for elevation changes. HazardCo managed H&S across multiple active sites with shared SWMS templates.
Supply chain volatility on timber and trusses required early procurement and locked supplier agreements through Mitre 10 Trade account pricing.
Results
- All six lots sold before practical completion
- Average gross margin 22.4% across the development
- H&S audit passed with zero critical findings
- Repeat development contract signed for Phase 2 (8 lots)
