Pricing

There is no fixed price list in engineering work. What we can do is be open about what the figure is built from.

Basis of calculation

What each type of work is measured by

Knowing these units lets you form your own rough estimate. We set the rate for each unit according to the conditions of the specific project.

TRANSMISSION LINE

Per kilometre of line

Voltage level (35, 110, 220 kV), terrain and tower type all affect the figure.

SUBSTATION

Capacity and number of bays

Transformer capacity, switchgear configuration and equipment count.

SURVEYING

Area or route length

Hectares of site or kilometres of route, and the accuracy class required.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Scope of the object

Number of options to compare and the depth of investigation required.

SUPERVISION

Duration of works

Months on site and how often our engineer must attend.

ADDITIONAL

Expertise and approvals

State expertise review, permits and coordination with utility owners.

Common questions

What clients usually ask

Why is there no price list

Two substations of identical capacity can differ several times over in cost because of terrain, access and permitting. A published figure would mislead more often than it would help.

Can you do part of the work

Yes. Surveying alone, or supervision alone, can be contracted separately.

Is the first consultation charged

No. An initial discussion of the project and the available options costs nothing.
