When planning a new home, square footage is only part of the budget conversation.
Two homes with the exact same floor plan can finish at very different price points depending on the selections made along the way.
Cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures, appliances and hardware can all range from practical to premium, and those individual choices add up.
Before you build, start thinking about the level of finishes you expect in your home. You don’t have to have every faucet and cabinet pull picked out on day one, but knowing where you fall on that spectrum can help create a much more realistic budget from the beginning.
Planning ahead now can mean fewer surprises later.
