Unraveling the Myth: Why Cost/Sq Ft Doesn’t Cut It in Custom Builds and Renovations
We’re often hit with the burning question: “What’s the cost per square foot in renovations or home building?” Now, for the folks who stick to the same materials, same circumstances, and basically keep everything in the construction world on repeat, calculating the cost per square foot is a breeze. But hold on, life isn’t always that simple.
Enter the realm of custom building and renovations, where things get a tad more interesting. Picture this: you’re cruising through your dream project, and suddenly, you decide to upgrade something. Boom! Enter the magical world of change orders, waving goodbye to the accuracy of your square foot cost estimate.

Now, let’s talk about a custom renovator or builder, someone who thrives on uniqueness and individuality. They’re not here to just crunch numbers based on square footage. Instead, they want to dive into the nitty-gritty details of your vision. So, before the design phase kicks in, share your dream kitchen aspirations. Paint a picture with your wants, needs, material preferences (quartz or cultured marble, anyone?), and throw in some photos for good measure.
At this point, our savvy contractor can whip up a rough bracket number, giving you a ballpark figure for your project. But here’s the kicker—it’s crucial for them to set this bracket at a sweet spot, not too low, not too high. This isn’t a guessing game; it’s a dance of precision.
And what about those upgrades, you ask? A stellar contractor will walk you through the ropes, shedding light on the cost implications and the dazzling pros and cons of each upgrade. After all, it’s not just about building; it’s about creating a space that aligns perfectly with your vision.
