Common questions
What others asks before signing up?
How much does an engineer cost in Australia?
Engineering consulting fees in Australia typically range from $180–$400 per hour depending on the discipline. Structural certificates for houses cost $500–$3,000, full residential engineering runs $2,000–$15,000, and large commercial or infrastructure projects can exceed $50,000. This calculator gives you an instant estimate for your specific project — your engineer confirms the final scope and fee in a written proposal.
How accurate is this engineering fee calculator?
It uses real Australian hourly rates by discipline, project-type multipliers and scale factors based on Engineers Australia guidance and industry data. It produces an estimate, not a binding quote — your engineer confirms the final scope and fee after reviewing your requirements.
Does the estimate include GST?
Yes. Every estimate is shown GST-inclusive at the Australian rate of 10%, so the total you see is the total you can expect on the proposal.
Can I add this calculator to my own website?
Yes — embed it on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix or Shopify with one snippet, or use the free hosted page if you don't have a site.
What do I get when someone uses my calculator?
A full lead: their name, phone, email, project brief and the phased fee estimate they saw — plus a branded PDF copy in your inbox, ready to follow up with a proposal.
What are the three phases in the estimate?
Discovery covers initial scoping, site review and client brief. Delivery covers engineering design, analysis and documentation. Review covers peer review, certification and handover. Your engineer may adjust phase weightings based on your specific project.
I don't have a website — can I still use it?
Yes. Every calculator gets a free hosted quote page with your branding and a shareable link for your LinkedIn, Google profile or email signature.
Is Leadkit really free?
Yes. Free lets you add up to 3 calculators to your website and receive 10 leads per month — no credit card. Every lead beyond the cap is still captured and held for you; upgrading to Pro ($29/mo) opens them all retroactively and removes the cap.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You get an embed code (one line of HTML). Paste it into your website builder — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or any custom site. That's it.
How accurate are the price estimates?
You configure the calculator formulas to match your actual pricing. Leadkit provides the framework; you set the numbers. Estimates can be as detailed or as rough as you like.
What happens with lead data?
All lead data is stored securely in your workspace. You own it. We never sell or share your leads with anyone.
Can I use Leadkit as an agency for multiple clients?
Yes — our Agency plan lets you create and manage separate workspaces for each of your clients, all from one dashboard.
What's the difference between the plans?
Free: up to 3 calculators, 10 leads/month (over-cap leads held + locked until upgrade). Pro: unlimited leads, unlimited calculators, white-label, branded email sending, analytics, email templates. Agency: everything in Pro plus multi-workspace management.

How it works
How this engineering fee estimate is calculated
Each estimate starts with an hourly rate for the selected discipline, calculates hours across three delivery phases scaled by project type, scale and deliverable scope, then adds GST. It produces an estimate, not a binding quote — your engineer confirms the final scope and fee in a written proposal.
GST handling: All estimates are shown GST-inclusive at the Australian rate of 10%.
1
Set the hourly rate
Each engineering discipline has a typical hourly rate reflecting market rates and specialisation premium — from $220/hr for civil through to $350/hr for geotechnical.
effective_rate = discipline_rate
2
Calculate phase hours
Base hours for discovery, delivery and review are scaled by project scale. Delivery hours are further adjusted by project type complexity and deliverable scope.
hours = base × scale × scope × deliverable
3
Price each phase
Each phase is costed by multiplying its hours by the discipline hourly rate, giving clients a transparent breakdown of where time is spent.
phase_cost = hours × rate
4
Add GST
GST is added at the Australian rate of 10% to produce the final GST-inclusive total.
