What does a custom home, addition, or whole-home renovation really cost here? Planning ranges, what drives the price, and how to budget with confidence before you talk to a builder.
What's inside
Seven pages that answer the first question every homeowner asks, and the ones they don’t know to ask yet.
What to budget for custom homes, major additions, whole-home renovations, and guest houses, in real dollars. Custom home ranges cover the structure; land and site work are extra, and design is included when we run design-build.
Site and terrain, structure, envelope, selections, and permitting: where two similar homes can end up hundreds of thousands apart.
The design and engineering step that has to come before any real bid, and how skipping it leads to surprises later.
Open-book pricing keeps every dollar visible and every decision yours, from the first walkthrough through Commissioning.
How we price
The guide shows you the ranges. This is how the real number gets built. Every subcontractor bid, material invoice, and allowance is visible in real time. Site supervision is billed monthly at our actual cost, with no markup, and one guaranteed maximum fee is written into your contract before work starts.
That fee only changes if the scope changes. Material price increases and allowance overages pass through at actual cost, in the open. You decide where to spend and where to hold back, working alongside your architect or designer with the same clarity they bring to the drawings.
