Our aim is to keep your maintenance costs low:

$15,000 - $29,99910%
$30,000-$49,9997%
$50,000 or more5%

Our management fee works on a sliding scale, and starts at 12.50% for jobs up to $14,999.

The rate decreases to 10% for jobs between $15,000 - $29,999; 7% for jobs from $30,000 - $49,999; and 5% for jobs costing more than $50,000.

The sliding scale management fee reflects our experience that larger jobs requiring more materials does not usually require more management.

It also ensures clients pay a reasonable price for the services provided, and that the services provided are up to the standards and expectations set out in the project.
