We are often asked why building a custom home is so expensive. Well, here is an article published by Realtor.com highlighting a study done by the National Home Builders Association that helps explain where an average of 26.4% of that cost comes from. Regulations both on the lot development side, architectural side, and permitting side play a big factor. We encourage you to research the IECC 2024 codes and get involved with your local Builders Association to help make a difference.
On a side note: check out this gorgeous fireplace in one of our homes we are getting ready to deliver. The countdown to key day has begun!
