Based on the latest ServiceSeeking.com.au pricing data, installers charge an average of $114.69 per square metre, with quotes starting from $30 per square metre. When priced as an overall job, the average cost is around $719.
Keep in mind, however, that these figures can vary depending on several factors, including the job's scale and requirements. The type of blinds or shutters, window sizes, number of windows, materials and installation requirements can all affect the final quote.
ServiceSeeking data shows that installers use different pricing structures depending on the job.
From quotes submitted on the platform:
Pricing by square metre can be useful when window size or total area is a key part of the job. An overall quote, meanwhile, gives the customer a single price for the requested installation and may account for the project's specific requirements.
The remaining quotes may use other pricing approaches or include different combinations of materials, installation and project requirements.
For jobs quoted by square metre, ServiceSeeking data shows:
The difference between quotes can reflect variations in the products selected, window dimensions, installation conditions and the amount of work involved. A quote for a straightforward installation may differ considerably from one involving larger windows, multiple rooms or more involved fitting requirements.
For jobs quoted as an overall amount, the average total cost is around $719.
The final price can depend on the number of windows being fitted, the size and layout of the property, the type and quantity of blinds or shutters, and whether additional installation work is required. For this reason, an installer will generally need project details before providing an accurate quote.
