Material Costs

Labor Costs

Administrative Costs

Homesite Costs

Reasonable Builder Profit

Through the document, we will breakdown these variable costs and also discuss what “Base Price” is and how it is calculated.

New Home Building Process

How long does it take to build a new home and what is the process? Building a new home is exciting, you can choose exactly the layout and features that will meet your family’s needs. When you build a new construction home from scratch, there is some time involved. Typically the entire building process takes 8-9 months after contract. The overall time of a build usually depends on the weather conditions. Construction can easily be delayed by shifts in temperature or too much precipitation. Concrete cure time and framing both need to be completed in ideal conditions.

The time of the year a home starts can greatly influence how long the home building takes. Other factors that can delay build time include new homeowners timeframes and the duration it takes to approve and finalize all buyer-specific options. For information about the entire process see page 5 of the New Home Handbook.

Healthy, Energy Efficient and Smart New Construction Homes

It is easy to customize your home to suit your wants and needs, but the design process doesn’t have to stop at countertop selection and flooring options. Consider utilizing cost-effective measures to reduce energy needs and options to make your new home more healthy and reduce allergies. Take a look at pages 9 – 11 of our New Home Handbook for specific details pertaining to smart, healthy, and energy-efficient options.

Builder Comparison

How do I compare builders? Don’t assume every builder offers the same capabilities, range of options or degree of quality. Asking questions now will help you make a decision you can feel good about from contract to close – and beyond. Different builders offer different included features that affect the price and overall quality of your new home. For a full builder comparison chart see pages 6 and 7 in our New Home Handbook.
