How We Help

• Evaluate your property’s development potential.

• Connect you with suitable architects, contractors, and designers.

• Compare proposals and clarify project budgets.

• Introduce construction lenders and coordinate project information.

• Help you understand key decisions throughout design and construction.

Construction Costs

For initial planning, luxury construction may range from approximately $700–$1,200 per square foot, depending on style, finishes, complexity, and site conditions. A 4,000-square-foot home would represent approximately $2.8–$4.8 million in construction costs.

This is a preliminary estimate. Land, design fees, permits, demolition, financing, landscaping, and contingency may be additional. Highly customized projects may exceed this range.

Construction Financing

Construction loans release funds in stages as work progresses. Lenders review the homeowner’s finances, property equity, plans, contractor, budget, and projected completed value. Existing property equity may count toward the required contribution.

Many loans offer interest-only payments on funds disbursed during construction. At completion, the loan may convert to a mortgage or require separate financing. Approval and terms depend on the lender.
