What moves the price of land

The scope you agree drives most of the cost of land. Every extra task, upgraded material or access complication adds labour and risk, and the provider prices that risk into the quote.

How to compare quotes for land

When you compare quotes for land, line up the scope, the materials and the timeline rather than just the totals. Ask each provider what would make the price rise after the quote is accepted.

Timing your land

For land, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.

Budgeting for land

Set aside the typical figure, near $2,368 per job, and treat anything closer to $1,345 as a bonus rather than a target. For land, the middle of the range is the realistic number.
