Now you are here, its time to make number, As we mention in previews post the cost of build your dream home could be in a range of 120 in ahead US Dollar per sqf, for our case we are going to use 120 $/sqf.
A 120 $/sqf home is a very complete home, that could include, nice looking ceramic tile, a basic kitchen with granite countertop, drywall interior wall and ceiling, decorative light, Ceiling fans, and nice looking Faucet , W.C and sinks, nothing fancy and few Glass and aluminum windows and doors.
Lets estimate the construction cost for a custom home.
A 1,500 sqf custom home, 3bed-21/2 Bathroom would by
1500sqfx120$/sqf=$180,000
12kbtu A/C split units =1000$/E.Ax3 unit=$3,000 ( considering one unit per room)
Hot water system =900$ per-outlet*3.5unit=$3,150 ( roughly, considering 2.5 bath plus kitchen sink )
If we want a 2 story home that will increase 20 to 30% percent of the budget so $180,000 time 20% percent =$36,000 increment.
Custom home: $222,150.00 TWO STORY HOME
Now let's says that we need privacy in our lot, and we have a perimeter length of 100 lineal meters a perimeter wall could go from 60-140$/lm , that's means 100 lmx60$/lm= 6,000 to be added.
Total construction cost
Custom home=$222,150.00
Perimeter wall =$6,000
Sub-total =$228,150
Permit 1% =$2,281.5
Total =$230,431.5
Design and planning cost
These are the firsts and most important steps to move forward with your custom home since you will be able to take decision in paper instead of waste money on site.
Architecture and engineering: $3,000 ( for a 1500sqf home )
Soil Study = $2,000 ( generally for two story home)
Topography Study= $600 ( for a 650sqm plot)
Zone use and setback certification=$600 (600-800 $ in depend of the location)
Total design and planning cost= $6,200 ( Roughly 3% percent of the construction cost)
We still need to Furnishing and equip the house, for that you could expend about 4 to 6k in appliances and 20 to 40k furnishing
Summarizing all this numbers we have
$6,200 Design and planning (2-3 months)
$230,431.5 Construction cost ( 6-8 moths)
$24,000 Appliances and furnishing (1 month)
$260,631.5 U.S Dollars per 1500 sqf custom home ready to move on in 9-12 months.
This is just a sample amount many other possibilities, if you need earthworks for grading the land, well digging, Water o Electrical service from the main road to your property, that's will add your budget.
Clarification $ by sqf its a reference ration that increase or reduce in depent of the size, high of the ceiling and roof , finished and building system, in small building this ration tend to increase in large building will reduce. only the real project will give you a real estimation.
