Welcome back to our series ‘Let’s talk building’.
Our goal is to help demystify the build process for you.
After our initial consult, we want to work together to determine whether your goals are feasible. Everyone has a budget, and our goal in the beginning stages is to determine whether your expectations are aligned with today’s building costs, and if not, to help you understand some of the trade offs you may need to consider.
Bottom line, we all want to be comfortable with the overall plan and general budget before we get too deep into the process. One way we achieve this is by showing you examples of other builds… whether that’s walking through in person or reviewing photo albums from previous builds.
This can help you understand what your money can get you, and it can also help us understand where your expectations fall with size and finish level. Keep in mind, we can’t quote a price for a build until we get further into the design process, but we can give you helpful feedback on the front end to help make sure the process is worth diving into further.
There are three main categories within a build that make up the cost. 1- sticks & bricks, 2- finishes, and 3- land. Next up in our series, we'll dive more into the land category with our next topic 'finding a lot'. See ya then!
