Budget Your Project

When planning your next project it is important to budget so you don’t run into problems along the way. It is good to have a target budget as well as a maximum budget if you run into cost overages. The style of the home, finishes, features, location, as well as many other factors can affect the cost of construction significantly. The accompanying chart shows average cost of construction in BC. To the cost of building the home you will need to add other costs such as property, site works, utility connections, professional fees, permits, financing, etc. Factoring in all of these early will help make the process of building your new home less stressful.

To help our clients meet their budget we can provide pricing plans at the mid-point of the design process to get preliminary pricing from their builder and determine whether the design needs adjustments. Materials lists are also available to help with budgeting, the lists include everything from nails and screws to studs and concrete.
