Melbourne Experts in Construction Estimating

Estimating and quantity surveying for Melbourne builders, developers, architects and subcontractors. MAIQS CQS accredited. 23+ years experience. Est. 2011. Call 1300 420 227.

Who We Are

Before starting Pekaj Group in 2011, Coba Pekaj spent over a decade working with Melbourne builders on residential and low-rise construction, followed by 8 years as head of estimating at a tier-1 subcontractor. In that role the team helped secure tiling, waterproofing and stone trade packages worth over $200 million across award-winning projects including West Side Place, The Parkhouse, Mason Square and Sky One.

That background means we understand construction costs from the inside. We report in the format lenders expect. And we give architects cost confidence before their designs go to tender. Not from a cost guide. From the Melbourne market as it stands today.

How We Help

Every estimate is an editable Excel spreadsheet with marked-up drawings. You own the numbers. Interrogate them, adjust them, drop in your own subcontractor pricing and use them directly in your tenders, client reporting or lender submissions.

No locked PDFs. No lump sums with no backup. Full transparency on every line item. Fixed-fee proposals on every engagement so you know what it costs before you commit.

Is This for You?

You are a builder tendering a residential project and you need accurate numbers before you commit to a price.

You are a developer running feasibility on a site and your lender wants independent cost documentation.

You are an architect presenting a design to a client and you need to know it is buildable within their budget.

You are a subcontractor who has been asked to price a job and you need quantities measured from the drawings.
