Commercial Carpentry Costs

What is included in the cost?

• The cost of materials

  This is a crucial factor that significantly impacts the overall expense of your commercial carpentry project. Several elements influence the final cost, such as the type of timber selected, the project's size and complexity, and the prevailing market prices for materials.

• Labour

  Another major component affecting the cost is the expense of labour. The hourly rate of carpenters can vary based on their experience and the nature of the work being performed.

Are there any unexpected costs?

Unexpected costs may arise when there are changes in the scope of work. Such changes can require builders and contractors to adjust their schedules, potentially leading to delays and additional costs. Project delays not only incur unexpected expenses but can also affect other planned projects for the builder.

Additionally, unforeseen costs can occur when materials or labour were not initially quoted for. If a builder overlooks something that should have been accounted for in the quote, the subcontractor will still need to complete the work, resulting in additional costs.

How can you reduce the cost of a commercial carpentry project?

One effective approach we have discovered to reduce costs is by considering alternative materials. Opting for less expensive materials can help lower the overall project cost. However, it is crucial to ensure that the chosen materials are still durable and capable of lasting for many years.

How does Parker ensure our clients get the best price?

At Parker Precision, we have an in-house team of expert estimators who handle pricing for all our projects. This approach ensures that both Parker and our clients receive the most competitive price. We prioritise meeting the unique needs of every client and go above and beyond to achieve customer satisfaction.

Builders must exercise caution when selecting subcontractors. The lowest price should not always be the determining factor. If a subcontractor deliberately underprices a quote to win a contract, it not only jeopardises their own position but also poses risks to the builder and the entire project.

We don’t only offer our clients highly skilled estimators. Parker Precision has dedicated administrators and accounts managers that will help answer any other queries and keep steady communication throughout the project. This is just one way that we stand out from our competitors. While many leave their clients in the dark throughout various stages of the project we pride ourselves on our regular communication.
