Ok, here we are. We have a building lot that has been cleared and pilings are set for our new “ocean style” house on pilings in Holden Beach, NC but how did we get our construction to this point?
As a builder, it’s a great feeling to watch a building start to rise from the dirt, but there is a lot of work that must happen first. A client usually does not realize the time, effort and costs just to get a house to the point where you see it in the photo above, and it’s no where near completion. We have just started!
Let’s look at what has happened in the form of a list to get us where we are today.


The associated costs that I have listed today are associated with our 1344 sq. ft. home. The costs on all projects vary. The larger the new home construction is, you can expect to pay larger startup fees. Everything I have listed is a ballpark figure and costs will vary depending on your own project.
Lots of money and lots of time to get us where we are today. I hope you have enjoyed this post taking you on the inside and giving you a look at a typical project taken on by a general contractor. There is a lot more to learn on this journey. Consider subscribing to the Brunswick Broker by RSS Reader or by email.
