What Level of Sustainability Are You Striving For? Select One

Standard Build

Environmentally Conscious

Passive/LEED Certified

Standard Build - This level of construction would cost roughly 5% less than an environmentally conscious home. Because many outdated building practices have serious impacts on the climate, we're unwilling to compromise our designs to fit these antiquated practices.

Environmentally Conscious - We believe the impact sustainable home design has on our environment and our homeowners is vitally important. Therefore, this is our firm's baseline.

Passive / LEED Certified - These certifications indicate the highest level of sustainable building. Due to the intricacies required to meet them, construction costs for this tier are roughly 10% above environmentally conscious homes.

Sustainable Home Design

Where Will Your Project Be Located? Type Response Below (Optional)

Location

Construction Costs vary depending on location. Some causes for this are contractor demand, local land values, property access, etc.

The modern, sustainable homes that we design are primarily located in the Northeast and this tool is updated regularly to reflect current costs in New York.

While local cost will vary slightly, the results of this questionnaire should still provide a reasonable baseline for any custom, modern home design throughout the US.

We'd be happy to chat with you about designing your new home in any region.

How Much Does the Land Cost? Adjust Slider (Optional)

Our calculation for acquisition costs take your submitted land cost and add a factor of 4% for closing costs. (This does not include the realtor's commission since it is typically paid by the Seller.)

These numbers assume a safe, vacant lot with easy access to utilities (water, electric & sewage.) Our calculations include $20,000 for permits and fees associated with the due diligence process in purchasing vacant land. However, a site that requires a tear-down of an existing structure, facilitation of utilities and/or an inspection of potentially hazardous situations should assume additional costs.

We'll be happy to guide you through this process either way!

Where To Start?

What Level of Landscape Amenities? Select One

Basic Needs

Curb Appeal

High-End Amenities

Our calculation for landscape & site work is estimated based on the size of the home and the level of work you'd like to see put towards the property.

BASIC NEEDS - Includes only work that is necessary to make your home move-in ready. This includes things like septic work, planting of grass or sod, and a no-frills driveway. (We estimate this as 5% of construction + acquisition costs)

CURB APPEAL - Includes well-designed planting and irrigation systems. It would allow us to provide you with a much higher quality driveway and fencing. (We estimate this as 10% of construction + acquisition costs)

HIGH-END AMENITIES - Pricing increases dramatically when we begin to include pools, outdoor kitchens, fire-pits, sport courts and extensive outdoor lighting. (We estimate this as 25% of construction + acquisition costs)
