Understand what drives the cost to build a true custom home
Finish level, land development, and design complexity all move the number. Learn how before you plan.
The whole house is custom, but a number of very specific requests were made from us and all were addressed, from the exact trim design for the doors/windows, precise model number switch/timer installation location, custom designed built-ins, speaker/ethernet wire installation as drawn by us, tile designs drawn by us. The end product was a beautiful, incredibly energy efficient and comfortable home delivered within our budget constraints. This speaks volumes for Hibbs Homes capability as this was all done over the course of four or five visits with everything else being supported via phone/email.
Value Engineering Your Custom Home Design + Build Project
Figuring out how much it will cost to build a custom home depends largely on what type of home you're building and what level of finishes you want to include.
For example, if you want to build a home with soaring rooflines or several gables, arches and curves throughout the interior, and detailed wood work the cost per square foot is going to be on the higher end of the spectrum. Likewise, if your home's design has more simplified rooflines but an extensive open floor plan requiring additional supports and large, commercial grade windows the same would be true.
The price for building custom is also going to depend on the materials and components used behind the drywall and to move your air - the bones of your home. We call them Hibbs Healthy Homes because our approach to home building is rooted in high-performance standards that make every home we build:
- Healthier indoor air quality,
- Durable against the elements and pests,
- Comfortable from room to room and floor to floor,
- and energy efficient compared to their similar sized, conventionally built neighbors.
Considering your specific needs, tastes, and the land where you're building, our team can help you streamline your plans to get exactly what you want within your budget. This process is called value engineering.
