Budget Estimator
What is the cost per square foot for an Integra built home? It's never a simple answer, because we don't just price homes by the square foot. We price homes based on specific plans, specifications, and site details.
For example, each of the following plan concepts would have very different pricing structures:
- A fully wooded lot that needed to be partially cleared, Master Suite on 2nd floor with a one-story Great Room, in a neighborhood with a walk-out basement.
- No basement, Master Suite on 2nd floor with a two-story Great Room, on a single lot in the country, that has no city utilities ran to it.
- Master Suite on main level, a two-story great room, walk-out basement and a rooftop patio.
- Master Suite on main level Ranch, on a flat lot in a neighborhood.
You can't take this one to the bank, but it will give you a pretty good ball park!
Lot
Already have a lot in mind? If not, let's take a look at lots together in the areas you want to be in!
Square Footage
Do you know how large of a home you will need? Use your existing home size to help estimate.
Build Costs
Pre-construction (architect, design & permits)
A lot of planning goes into building a home before the first shovel hits the ground. This includes plan development, interior design, construction permitting and licensing!
Foundations
Whether it's a walk-out basement or a slab-on-grade, we make sure the foundation of your home is built on solid soil to get us started on the right foot.
Framing, windows & doors
We will pick windows and doors to match the home's aesthetic, but structurally our framers will use a combination of lumber and steel (if necessary) to build the structure up.
Exterior finishes
Brick? Stone? Siding? Or any combination of the three. There is plenty of new technology in this scope that has introduced new material options that are more durable than ever.
Roofing
Asphalt shingles with metal roof accents? No problem. A flat roof with decking for views? We can do that too.
Mechanicals
We will bring your water, sewer, gas and electrical service to your home. Then we wire up all the lighting, plumbing and HVAC systems.
Garage doors
Single doors, double doors…standard height or extra tall doors. With glass or without glass. More options to choose from than you think.
Concrete
Broom finished or stamped and stained. Long windy driveway or a large back patio including a pool?
Landscape & irrigation
Irrigation systems are pretty standard in our builds. Will we build a private pergola or massive boulders scattered around the lot?
Fireplaces
Wood burning or gas log? Modern rectangular? Elaborate limestone mantel or a simple timber?
Interior trim
Our carpenters are craftsmen. Built-ins throughout or minimal and clean? Special paneling and trusses in the ceilings?
Interior paint
We use Sherwin Williams paints and our painters are artists. We can paint and stain the most intricate details.
Cabinets
This is a big one. We have cabinets in all the bathrooms, kitchen, kitchenette and basement bars… and features galore.
Countertops
Quartz or granite, that is the top question. One is not better than the other. It's really a matter of style and preference.
Plumbing fixtures
Color combos are endless from brushed nickel, black to chrome and champagne bronze. Rain head in your shower or jets on the wall?
Flooring
Marble, porcelain, ceramic, hardwood, LVP, carpet, engineered hardwood, and everything in between.
Appliances
Stainless steel, matte black, or powder-coated any color you want. Stacked ovens, 48" cooktop, counter depth vs 30" deep refrigerator.
Light fixtures
Lighting sets the mood. Elaborate lighting; art or functional?
AV & security
Security system, garage doors, thermostat and a sound system that you can control with your voice. A theater or gaming room, perhaps?
Accessories
Gym have a wall of mirrors? Glass doors on all the showers and tubs? Coat hooks and closet features covered here.
