Practical Budgeting for Your Custom Home Build

Most folks underestimate the cost of building their dream home and end up frustrated when reality hits. Part of my job is helping customers budget realistically from day one.

To start, consider the cost per square foot. With S. Clements Homes, it’s $160 per square foot under roof—a fair price that’s hard to beat. Determine the size of home you want to build and multiply by this number to get a basic estimate. If you’re building on raw land, be sure to add 10-15% for site work, utilities, and land preparation.

Throughout the process, we maintain a running spreadsheet that keeps you informed of your budget status. You have the peace of mind knowing where every dollar goes and can make informed decisions along the way.

Honest budgeting starts with honest pricing, and with our fixed-price contracts, what you sign is what you pay. You’ve got my commitment that your costs won’t balloon unexpectedly.
