How to determine the construction cost

Build a house price

Why do you need a budget or how to find out the correct cost of construction?
To know how much your "cottage dream" will cost you, you need to make a full estimate.

The "correct" estimate takes into account:

a list of all works from the foundation to the roof with volumes;
list of building materials for each work;
actual prices at the moment for each type of work;
cost of materials;
shipping cost.
How to make the correct estimate, find out how much it costs to build a turnkey house and where to get information?
Option 1. You make the estimates yourself.
- They themselves compile a list of works agreed upon by the house project

- Count volumes and group them by type of work

- Call different professionals and find out the prices

- Find out on the Internet the actual cost of materials.

- You are considering the weight of materials, the number of machines for their delivery and their cost.

Option 2. Costists are builders who are interested in building your home.
The article about the right choice of builders can be read here =>

We want to warn immediately, a detailed estimate of "ask" from the builders quite difficult, they are more like to operate the price per square meter of construction of the house.

Different builders in the amount per m2 may include a different list of works (one is the cost of "boxes" without foundations, while others do not take into account the materials or delivery, someone considers with sticking wallpaper and communications). How to compare different builders in this case? Where is the guarantee that the prices will not increase in the process? You will have to solve these complex issues on your own.

How can simplification of comparison and selection of builders?
Firstly, you should have a project with a constructive part. Some consider the project pictures of plans from the Internet, but this is in the root of the wrong approach.

The competent wizard will necessarily require you to draw the foundations, layout of the overlappings, constructive knots ... If this does not happen, then you are not very professional builder and the price (and often - and the quality of work), which you will be called, will be very approximate .

For information, see the composition of our typical project here =>

If you have a project and it has a general list of materials, then it simplifies the task. But let's notice that each worker has a list of works in his own way, and sometimes it is difficult to compare the estimates of two different executors even for a person with a building education.

Yes, and not everyone wants to share their prices with a competitor. Usually, the bosses show you detailed prices for each type of work only when the contract is concluded, when the final cost has been negotiated and agreed upon. Find out exactly how much it costs to build a house, which types of jobs and in what sequence will be performed without accurate calculation and planning is impossible.

How do you get objective initial data?
We can advise you to compile a list of main works and to give it to different commandos in the same composition. In this case, you have the risk of getting low prices, because the executor will try to "pull" the order from the competitor, and then compensate for the low cost in the jobs you have not considered.

Together you will need:

detailed list of works from the foundation to the roof
copies of the complete project, so that the Warden understands the task.
How to get it to the beginner - the builder and future homeowner, if he wants to have objective data?

Option 3. For you, we will undertake a detailed control over the implementation of construction, and then finishing work.
Immediately ahead of time, this is a paid service, which can be done only if there is a project.

What will be included in our estimates:
A detailed list of works is grouped in stages.
The current prices for each work (which is believed to be due to the continuous work of different bureaucrats with us constantly updated on all changes in prices).
The volumes of works are calculated according to the project.
Composition of materials for each work with their current value at the time of calculation.
The volume of materials in machines to calculate the cost of delivery.

The cost is given in paper and, obligatory, in electronic form. From now on you will see what the cost of a house at each stage of construction.

Benefits of our estimate:
You get the most accurate construction cost.
If you have a sum, then there is at once a specific executor who will take up the implementation.
You get the most complete checklist of the works and you can give it to different commandos for comparison (you clean up our prices and the executor should only place their prices into empty cells and sum the total amount).
You control the amount of materials spent.
You can control the timing and cost of the purchased material.
You can manage costs in advance, replacing the more expensive material in the estimate and get a change in the total cost in real time.
You clearly plan the terms of construction and work promptly with the executive committee.
We are always ready to be responsible for each digit, if there are doubts in any particular volume, we make a recount and send you a detailed calculation formula
How much does it cost?
Depending on the complexity of the project and the volume of work, the estimate may cost from 600 to 3000 UAH.

If you selected our finished project, the cost estimate can be recognized in the "Add-on" tab)

The calculation period is one to three weeks

As we built a frame house with our own hands, look here.
