5. How much money and time does it take to build a luxury custom home?
Various factors have an effect on time: your financing arrangements, your custom home plan, your selection of fittings and fixtures, local climate and weather conditions, your builder's commitment to your project etc.
The total cost of each individual custom built home can vary significantly due to several factors including: home size and style, lot conditions, excavation requirements, sewer or septic system, water or well system, choice of exterior and interior materials, flooring, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, etc. However, as a general rule, the total cost for building a luxury custom home will probably average in the range $80.00 to $120.00 per square foot.
Plan your budget and timeline - find custom home plans with features you are seeking, research on the Internet, in magazines, at home shows, etc. A luxury custom home will generally cost more, and require more time to build, than a similarly sized pre-built home - but you will get exactly the features and lifestyle that you want. Another benefit of a custom home is that you decide how to distribute your budget, placing emphasis on areas of importance to you. |
