How much per square foot does new construction cost?

The main factors which affect the cost of new construction per square foot are:

  1. Site conditions
    • Hillside construction is much more expensive than a flatter lot with easy access.
    • Soil types can effect construction costs. ( Boulders, clay or expansive soils)
    • Central water and sewer are  less expensive than wells and septic systems.
  2. Home design
    • The simpler the design the lower the costs. There is an old adage which states “Every time you turn a corner you increase the costs.”
  3. Quality of Finishes
    • Granite – vs – Formica
    • Aluminum clad wood windows – vs- vinyl
    • Tile shower – vs – fiberglass insert

What is “Green Building”?

  • Green Building or sometimes called  “sustainable building” is the practice of creating structures  using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource efficient throughout a buildings life-cycle: from site to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.
