New Home Need To Knows...

Contact Local Builders
Meet with builders who construct homes that are similar in size, quality, and features to the home you want. Builders will tell you how much per square foot they usually charge for home construction. They can also give you a ballpark idea of what your dream home might cost.
However, it is important to know exactly what is included in the price. If you ask, some builders will provide you with a list showing the materials they will use.

Inflation and Market Conditions
Usually the cost of building a home increases around 3% to 6% per year. If it will be several years before you begin construction, remember to include inflation into the cost estimate for your home.

Setting Your Budget

Cost Overruns...
Usually the finished cost of a home is more then the original bid price. Cost overruns occur from overspending the allowances, making changes, and encountering unforeseen problems. Proper planning can greatly reduce cost overruns. In general, it is a good idea to allow an additional 10% to cover unexpected costs.
