FAQ
How much does it cost to build a house in Bluffton SC?
Many buyers feel building a home can be very expensive and overwhelming. Where do you start? What are the budget considerations? Others wonder if there is a professional that they can trust who can guide them through this process. The price of building a custom home starts with the cost of building the shell. The shell typically accounts for 40-60% of the total cost of a custom home. The size and architectural style of the home are the major factors affecting the shell price. The remaining costs of construction, which will represent 40-60% of the total cost, are based on lot improvements, design, and material selections. Overall, the buyer is in full control of the final price by making decisions on over 60% of the features that will cause the final pricing to be at, above, or below their desired budget. For further information, contact our team of experts.
Are custom builds expensive?
Custom builds are often thought of as a luxury reserved only for the wealthy. However, this is not always the case. While custom builds may cost more upfront, they can actually save money in the long run. This is because custom builds are tailored to fit your exact needs and preferences, meaning you won’t end up with features or components that you don’t need or use. Additionally, custom builds can be designed with high-quality, durable materials that are built to last, reducing the need for future upgrades or repairs. In the end, while custom builds may have a higher initial cost, they can ultimately be a wise investment for those looking for a personalized and long-lasting solution.
How much does it cost per square foot to build a house in South Carolina?
There is no definitive answer to the question of how much it costs per square foot to build a house in South Carolina as each home is unique. Design, schedule, and budget are all factors that control the final pricing of a custom home. After years of working with homeowners, we have found that the best results are achieved when there is a clearly defined objective, an effective strategy, and a workable plan to follow. The two methods used for luxury home projects are known as the Competitive Bid Method and the Collaborative Method. The Collaborative Method is best for assuring that the buyers pricing goals are achieved. It is important to understand who will be making the decisions that affect costs and how those decisions are made. The builder and design team should give the buyer options for each selection with clear allowances established ahead of time, to help reach the desired budget.
