The cost to complete your home to occupancy will be dependent on the size, location and complexity of the project. The time taken to build as well as the availability and quality of trades-people used will affect the labor cost.

Efficient construction is dependent on:

Choosing the right design is an important first step. The general rule is that time spent on planning before construction starts will make construction a lot more efficient than making changes once building has commenced.

Selecting the right quality of material will often give you substantial cost savings during the building process and a better finished result. For example straight framing lumber means less finishing time for installation of drywall, moldings, trim and cabinetry. The use of better materials generally means faster installation and less waste.

Getting the right skilled people will have a major impact on reducing costs. Low skilled people learning on the job will take a lot longer and make costly mistakes that the homeowner will end up paying for one way or another.
