This estimator gives an indicative budget band, not a fixed quote. Your firm figure depends on the actual design, finishes, hall, freight and install scope, and is always confirmed in writing before any commitment. Setpiece is a fictional demo brand built by SGBP.

How the estimate works

No black box. The estimator takes the area you pick, multiplies it by a per-square-metre build rate, then adds a per-square-metre rate for each fit-out element you switch on.

1 · Footprint

The size band sets the square metres we work with — from a 14 m² shell scheme up to a 220 m² headline set. Bigger footprints carry more structure, so the band scales with the area.

2 · Build complexity

Each build type carries a per-m² base rate: modular & reusable at $180/m², custom fabricated at $320/m², immersive & sculptural at $520/m². This is the biggest lever on the final figure.

3 · Fit-out elements

Every element you add — av & led media, feature lighting, custom joinery and more — stacks its own per-m² rate on top, so the band reflects what actually goes into the build.

The band you see is the mid figure spread roughly 15% either side and rounded to the nearest $500. Your firm figure depends on the real design, finishes, hall, freight and install scope, and is always confirmed in writing before anything is committed.
