Healthcare projects do not forgive loose numbers. Shellharbour Hospital is a seven-storey, 61,577m² public facility in Shellharbour, NSW, built for a region that had outgrown its predecessor. Scale and clinical complexity made precision non-negotiable from the first drawing.
We anchored the budget using CostX across all structural and architectural takeoffs. AGTEK modelled the earthworks across a one-hectare footprint. The FF&E schedule ran to 62,577 individual items. That is 30 times the total door count for the entire building.
Every gap in the documentation set was flagged and raised as an RFI before any line was priced. Gaps left open at this stage become contract disputes later. On this project, they did not.
The full takeoff closed in 28 days. Not approximate. Locked.
The builder moved to tender with a budget they could write contracts against, backed by a BOQ their estimators could read and act on from day one.
If you have a healthcare or large-scale public sector project approaching tender, we can turn a full takeoff around without slowing your programme. Get in touch to discuss your timeframe.
