Establishing A Realistic Budget for Your Custom Made Home

By Christian Brickers


You might think that building a custom home comes with a much larger price tag than buying an existing property. While there are several properties to choose from on the market today, none of these homes have been designed just for you. If you plan on building your dream home, creating a realistic budget is essential. When you take on this task, you must consider the cost of blueprints, permits, land, architect fees, and the cost of all of the upgraded materials you plan on using. Sit down and take time to build a realistic budget, and always remember that patience is a plus when you are drafting the blueprints and choosing a contractor to do the work.

What Costs Are Included?

Once you are pre-qualified for a loan, you can finally sit down and start budgeting the cost of the project. It can take a year or more to build a custom home, from drafting the blueprints to completion. You may not be familiar with all of the costs associated with building a custom home from the ground up, and this is why you should discuss the costs with a custom builder first. Keep in mind that custom homes do not have preexisting blueprints and the costs of having these drawn can be up to $25,000. Here is a basic list of what you should expect to budget for when you are structuring the financing of your custom made home:

Before you can truly set up your budget and get the process rolling, you need to understand how building a custom made home works. While money is important, knowing how to stay organized at each step in the process is important as well. If you fail to stay organized and updated, you may end up going over budget or be forced to delay your project until you can find more funding.

Sitework will include labor. Home costs may include the costs for permits, engineering architectural work, and land surveys. Once you add all of the costs together, you can get a total project cost and obtain a new construction mortgage loan. If you are smart with your planning, you will find that planning your custom made home in advance can save you money compared to buying resale.
