These numbers are very high level simple allowances/calculations. Costs for construction can vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and also vary depending on exsiting site conditions and/or environmental conditions. To get a more firm idea of what a new build might cost where you live, give us a call and we can discuss what steps might need to be taken to determine that.

If you are selling your current home before or during construction, don't forget to add rent, any extra storage you might need, as well as an extra move.

Renovation Costs: there is too much variance to provide an easy to use calculator. Give us a call or fill out the contact form and we can talk you through what those costs may be... That said, we are working on a more detailed renovation and new home construction calculator to help you make an informed decision. So stay tuned for that!
