What information do I need before I start?

Three things: the type of project (new build, extension, renovation or commercial fit-out), an approximate floor area in square feet, and the parish or island where you are building. A finish level or budget range helps sharpen the result, but nothing else is required — no drawings, no measured survey, no account.

How fast do I get results?

Seconds. ArchiQuant calculates as you type, so the cost range and breakdown appear on screen immediately once your inputs are in — usually under a minute from opening the estimator.

What should I do with my estimate?

Use it as your planning number: check it against your budget or financing, compare drawing packages, and share it with your bank, contractor or family. When you are ready to move forward, send it to us from the contact page and we will turn it into a priced scope with a property review and a confirmed drawing package.

ArchiQuant is Blue Island Projects & Design's online architect cost estimator. It helps homeowners, developers, and professionals get an instant construction cost estimate and explore drawing packages for Caribbean projects.

How do I use the app?

Enter your project type, square footage, and location. ArchiQuant returns a professional cost breakdown in seconds. You can then compare service packages and choose the one that fits your project.

Who is ArchiQuant for?

It is built for anyone planning a building project in the Caribbean: first-time homeowners, investors, contractors, and developers who need quick cost clarity before committing to a full design engagement.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You can run an estimate and browse packages without signing up. If you decide to move forward, you can contact the studio directly from the results.

How accurate is the estimate?

The estimate is a planning guide based on typical Caribbean construction costs and your inputs. A final quotation still requires property review, confirmed drawings, and a detailed scope.

What happens after I get an estimate?

You can choose a planning or drawing package, open the app in a new tab for a full-screen experience, or reach out to Blue Island Projects & Design to refine the scope.

Can I use ArchiQuant on my phone?

Yes. The embedded app and this page are fully responsive, so you can get an estimate on a phone, tablet, or desktop.

What's inside and the questions we get asked

Instant cost clarity

An architect cost estimator tuned to real Caribbean construction — costs in seconds instead of weeks of guesswork.

Measurement centre

Work in the units you have. Convert areas and dimensions, then feed them straight into the estimate.

Service packages

Planning, essential drawings and full documentation packages priced transparently, so scope and fee are clear up front.

ArchiQuant estimates are a planning guide, not a quotation. A priced scope follows once the drawing package and property details are confirmed.
