How to Estimate Home Construction Cost?

The first step to building house was taken the moment you had decided. Now, it is time to plan the actions you are about to take and what costs it might entail. Estimating Home Construction Cost need not be a daunting task if done so correctly. Let’s find out how.

Before you get started

When starting out with your construction plans the first step is to determine all the factors of the construction such as plot size, per square feet area of the house, number of residents, the location and its surroundings.

All these factors are then estimated under two types of cost, Land Cost and Construction Cost.

· Land Cost: It is a value that fluctuates over time so you need to consider the time of purchase or ownership duration from the time of purchase to estimate its value. Other facets of the land like its sites and habitability may also add up to the value of the land.

· Construction Cost: Is the value of the material per square feet of the construction area. The value relies on the quality of the material to be purchased and it may vary between Average, Medium and Top quality.

Once you have accumulated all these figures, we can now begin to calculate the total cost of the construction by multiplying Land Cost with Per Square Feet Price of Construction Material.

A 20% miscellaneous cost is also added to the total construction cost to account for any added expenditure which is excluded from material or land.

Estimating Home Construction Costs in an Overview

Decide your Floor Plans: The first step to getting an accurate cost estimate of all the materials you need to build a house. Now, if you have never built a house before and have no concept of floor plans then what should you do? The simplest course of action would be to refer to houses that have already been built.

Contact a local builder who has routinely taken up projects in the area of your choice. He will have crucial insights regarding the cost of building the house in terms of the size, style, features and the quality you have in mind.

Work Closely with an Architect: Building a custom house from scratch would take all the help you can get, especially people with the experience and skill to envision such a project. It is recommended that you work closely with an architect you trust. Remember that each design that you take during the planning phase would inadvertently affect the cost of construction. Therefore, ensure that your architect knows how the materials that have been chosen for the construction ties up with the design.

Estimating your home’s construction cost can be simplified if you take a methodical approach and scrutinize the cost of building a home in close coordination with the specialists.
