HOME BUILDING COSTS IN EVERGREEN COLORADO
Asking what it will cost to build a new home in the Rocky Mountains is akin to asking how much a new car will cost! What kind of car? The cost of any construction will depend on many things such as size, quality, design, and land. We are an Evergreen Colorado Custom Home Builder and have built many elegant homes in the Rocky Mountains.
COSTS PER SQUARE FOOT IN EVERGREEN COLORADO
Most customers ask how much is the cost per square foot? This is hard number to calculate because there are no real constants on which to base the price. For example, let’s say you have a well and a three bedroom septic which will cost approximately $30,000.00. If You divide that number into a 2000 square foot home the cost will be $15.00 /sq. ft., but if you home is 3000 square feet then the price will be $10.00 /sq. ft. The same is true for everything else. Let us say you have the same size kitchen, the same 2 ½ baths, the same two car garage the price will all depend on the size of your house. We haven’t even added in the cost of the land yet, which in the Rocky Mountains can cost anywhere from $20,000 to 2 million or more.
TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION
It is generally agreed that there are four basic types of construction depending on the quality of the project. Economy is production building and equivalent to the homes built by Richmond or Pulte. Average is next, which is economy with a few extra features. The third level is Custom. Custom will incorporate a more complicated design with above average quality in the material and workmanship. Last is the Luxury home which has a distinct or unique design and top of the line materials and craftsmanship. It takes an experienced builder to be able to define the differences; as an Evergreen Colorado Custom Home Builder we can advise you in the design and specification for each different class of home. This can be especially hard when all the different types are mixed and matched. The price you pay will depend on what you buy. If you hire a production contractor or sub contractor you will get an economy job. Unfortunately, I have seen many people pay custom or luxury prices for average or economy work because they are not educated buyers.
EVERGREEN COLORADO MOUNTAIN BUILDING
Evergreen Colorado Mountain building is a special kind of building. The land development is complicated and expensive. Land development is everything that is requires to prepare the site for construction and permitting. It includes but is not limited to Federal, State, and County approvals, tree cutting and removal, excavating and blasting, drainage plan, fire mitigation, well and septic design and installation, and house placement on the lot. Every lot in the mountains is unique and it is impossible to put a dollar figure that will satisfy all budgets. Buying land in the mountains is tricky business, and takes an experienced professional to guide You through the entire process; let us help You buy Your Evergreen Colorado Real Estate. Please call Mark English Real Estate to help you in the purchase of your land because many thousands of dollars can be wasted by a poor land purchase.

BEST GUESS
An educated guess for the square foot price in the Evergreen / Conifer area would be about $100.00 a square foot for economy to approximately $160.00 for a traditional custom home without the land and without the land development costs.
