Budget breakdown

Equipment and civil work dominate the budget; the finishes premium scales with how far you go beyond a vendor's base cabin. GST applies to the equipment and finishes supply, while AMC, licensing and contingency round out a realistic year-one outlay.
Every figure is a planning estimate. Site conditions, vendor quotes and state lift rules will move the final number.
