Fixed Quote Renovations: How to Lock in Price, Scope, and Peace of Mind

Renovations can be unpredictable: hidden defects, supply fluctuations, and scope creep often blow out budgets. A fixed quote renovation replaces uncertainty with an agreed price and a clearly documented scope—so you can plan confidently and keep your project moving on schedule. At RJG Group PTY LTD, we deliver premium bathroom, kitchen, and laundry upgrades across Sydney, supported by transparent processes and quality control.

What is a Fixed Quote Renovation?

A fixed quote renovation sets a single, agreed amount before work begins. The figure is built from a detailed scope of work (materials, labour, permits, and allowances). Once signed, the price only changes if you approve a documented scope variation.

How it differs from time-and-materials (T&M):

Why Many Sydney Homeowners Prefer Fixed Quotes

1) Budget certainty
Know the total before works begin. This reduces financial stress and simplifies approvals. Our FAQs explain typical inclusions and allowances.

2) Clear scope of work
Fixed pricing requires a detailed brief—finish schedules, PC sums, and inclusions/exclusions—so everyone is aligned from day one.

3) Risk managed by the builder
We’re incentivised to plan trades, sequence works, and manage deliveries efficiently to stay within the agreed price and timeline.

4) Straightforward payment milestones
Typically deposit → progress payments at named milestones → practical completion. See how clients experience this in our Reviews.

How to Obtain a Reliable Fixed Quote (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 — Define outcomes and priorities
Decide whether you’re planning a Bathroom Renovation in Sydney, a Kitchen Renovation, or a Laundry Renovation. List “must-haves” vs “nice-to-haves.”

Step 2 — Document the scope
Provide floor plans, elevations, fixture/fitting selections, allowances, and waterproofing notes. For approvals context, see NSW Renovation Rules Explained: Council Approval, CDC or Exempt.

Step 3 — Request comparable quotes
Give identical documents to each builder so you can compare like-for-like. Ask for inclusions schedules and warranty terms.

Step 4 — Evaluate more than price
Check delivery track record, sequencing discipline, and communication cadence. Browse our Projects for finish quality and timeline control.

Step 5 — Finalise the contract
Ensure the agreement includes scope, PC sums, milestone triggers, defect liability period, and warranties—then sign. Ready to get a figure? Request a Quote or Contact Us.

Common Misconceptions—Clarified

• “Fixed quotes are always higher.”
  Builders include realistic allowances, but fixed pricing often saves money by preventing ongoing overruns and rework.

• “No flexibility.”
  You can still change your mind—variations are documented, priced, and approved by you before proceeding.

• “Quality suffers to meet the price.”
  Reputable, licensed builders protect quality to protect their reputation. We use trade-specific checklists and sign-offs at each milestone (ask us about our quality markers).
