## Cost and timeline (general guidance)

- Cost to build: about $400 to $600 per square foot to build, and about $400 to $600 per square foot to finish. These are two separate figures and should not be combined into one total.
- Timeline: on average, about a year to plan and design, and about a year to build.
- Both cost and timeline vary with the site, the city and county, and the specifics of the design, so a detailed estimate is provided once the project is understood.
- What drives cost: site location, soil stability, hillside slopes, proximity to fault lines, and the foundation engineering they call for set the opening terms — but more than anything, interior and architectural details and selections drive the cost of a custom home.
