← All Brokerly calculatorsSunshine Coast Construction

Stress-test your Sunshine Coast build before the bank does

Most builds blow out because the holding costs aren't modelled honestly. Plug in your land, build, rate and timeline, Brokerly's feasibility calculator surfaces the real all-in number.

Tuned to Sunshine Coast costs: Banya, Aura, Caloundra, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba & Buderim (QLD 4551 / 4556 / 4557 / 4558 / 4575).

Developer Feasibility

Run the numbers before the bank does.

A quick land + build + sale model. Estimates only, but a great way to pressure-test a deal before committing to formal feasibility with our lending team.

Tip: Lenders typically want a margin above ~18% on small developments. Below that, structure becomes everything.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Sunshine Coast feasibility calculator include?

Land cost, build cost, finance interest during construction, holding costs and a contingency buffer, the four numbers that decide whether a Banya, Aura or Caloundra project actually stacks up.

Is this calculator suitable for a knockdown-rebuild in Buderim or Mooloolaba?

Yes. The calculator works for any single-dwelling new build or KDR across the Sunshine Coast, Buderim, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Caloundra and the Aura corridor.

Does it cover construction loan progress payments?

It models total interest cost during the build window. For a full progress-payment schedule and lender comparison, book a call with Brokerly after running the numbers.

What contingency should I assume for a Sunshine Coast build right now?

Most Brokerly clients use 7.5%–10% contingency in 2026 for QLD residential builds, given lingering trade pricing volatility and weather delays.

Is this calculator the same as the Developer Feasibility Worksheet?

No. This one is for owner-builders and small dual-occ projects. For multi-lot residual land value modelling and PDF export, use the Developer Feasibility Worksheet.
