Plumbing options:

Once you click Calculate, you'll see both the base cost estimate and the total including 10% contingency for surprises like hidden leaks.
How It Works Globally
-
Labour costs differ worldwide. In Perth, expect ~10% premium over Australian average; other countries scale down or up accordingly.
-
Despite currency differences, cost-per-m² logic holds universally.
-
Enter your local size and quality—whether you're in the US, UK, NZ, Canada, or elsewhere—and use “Worldwide standard” for neutral estimates.
Why a 10% Contingency Matters
Unexpected costs—like rewiring or replacing rotten timber—are common. We built in a standard 10% buffer so you’re not blindsided partway through.
Practical Examples
-
Small budget Perth ensuite (4 m², budget quality, no plumbing work):
Base: 4×1,200×1.2 = ~$5,760; Total ~$6,340 -
Mid‑range full bathroom (8 m², plumbing moved, Australia-wide):
Base: 8×1,800×1.2 = $17,280; Total ~$19,000
Tips for Real‑World Use
-
Measure carefully, including floor and wall tiles.
-
Choose realistic quality—make your choices first so your estimate matches the real package.
-
Consult a licenced tradesperson to confirm plumbing/electrical requirements and permits.
-
For luxury finishes, gather quotes for custom vanities, heated floors, wet areas—to swap into the base cost factor.
FAQs
-
Can I change currency? The calculator uses AUD but ratios apply—just convert after calculation.
-
Should I DIY? Labour is 40–50% of cost. DIY helps, but it needs skill in waterproofing, plumbing, tiling.
-
What if structural changes are needed? That falls under “major plumbing” up-charge. Always add 10‑15% more if walls or floors change.
Typical Cost Ranges (Perth)
Budget | Mid‑range | Luxury |
---|---|---|
$8k‑12k | $15k‑25k | $30k+ |
Why Perth Matters—but the Tool Works Everywhere
Perth ranges tend higher than national Aussie averages because of fewer tradies and shipping. That’s why there's a location multiplier. Living in Vancouver, London or Dubai? Choose “Worldwide standard” for global comparisons.
