Budget Preparation
Linwood is able to provide an important rough budgeting tool that can help you produce a straightforward, realistic estimate of what your home will cost to build. This spread sheet will give you an idea of whether the kind of home you selected meets your proposed budget.
The key difference in our approach is that we not only look at the quality of the home, but also the actual number of square foot equivalents being built. This is the best way to create a realistic rough budget.
Builders who quote simplistic dollar per-square-foot costs do not consider the specifics of the project. This may work with simple designs, but is not an accurate method to estimate the cost of custom homes. Starting a project without having a proper budget will almost always lead to cost overruns and lack of control.
