How Much Will It Cost To Build?
One of the most important questions you will have when browsing house plans is how much will this plan cost to build. America’s Best House Plans has taken the guesswork out of this important question by offering a Cost to Build report in partnership with StartBuild.
StartBuild uses a state-of-the-art estimator and an up-to-date list of current costs for materials and labor to create a Cost to Build Report. This document determines the overall and detailed costs of building your specific house plan in your exact location giving you the answer of how much it will cost to build your house.
In addition to the home’s specific floor plan and location, StartBuild allows you to factor in many of the material choices you’ll make in the process into the estimate. Options like granite countertops, tile roofs, high-end windows, or more exotic hardwood flooring can dramatically change the cost per square foot to construct a home - sometimes by more than 100% over the initial estimate.
Knowing these costs of building a house upfront will help you make more informed decisions well before even breaking ground!
Once purchased for $29.95, StartBuild will send you an email with login credentials, giving you access to your personal Cost to Build estimate. You have 30 days to access, adjust and download this report.
