Custom Home Building in Guilford, CT - How much does it cost?
Something that people always want to know is how much it costs per square foot to build a custom home in Guilford. We wish there was a "one size fits all" answer to that question, but when it comes to building a custom home, there are a lot of 
variables that can affect pricing. Simply asking for the price per square foot of a custom home is a little too general because there are usually three elements that determine cost. These three elements are intricacy of design, quality of finish and size.
Intricacy of Design - If you want your home design to be more complex it will take more labor time which will increase your costs. A home with several stories, curved staircases and angled walls will undoubtedly cost more than a typical rectangular house. If you want some extra detail in your custom home, be sure to discuss the extra labor costs with your contractor before you begin.
Quality of Finish - You might be surprised how many people do not think about how the quality of the material used in building a custom home in Guilford can greatly increase the cost of the overall project. For instance, if you decide to use wood rather than vinyl, the price will go up. Make sure you know the cost of the materials you use so that you aren't surprised by the final total later.
Size - This one may seem a bit obvious, but a 7,000 square foot home is going to cost more than a 3,000 square foot home. Keep in mind the proportions of additions for a larger home as well. A porch on that 7,000 square foot home is probably going to be bigger (and therefore cost more) than a porch on the 3,000 square foot home.
To sum up, it is impossible to give one answer to the question, "What does it cost to build a custom home in Guilford?" There are too many factors that go into building a house that can vary the final cost. This is part of the reason why you want to find a contractor you can trust when constructing a new home because he/she will be able to work with you in determining a close estimate of the cost.
