How to bring your build price down without cheapening the house:
TRIM →
1. Square footage before quality- smaller built properly beats bigger built to a price
2. The roofline-every extra ridge and valley is money
3. Phase the outdoor living- patio now, kitchen later
4. Choose your splurge rooms-money where you live
NEVER TOUCH →
The foundation. Everything behind the walls. Once, and right.
Trim smart and nobody will ever see what you saved.
