1. Think about Features You Might Want

Before you can get an estimate for your project, you’ll need to start thinking about some of the features you might want. If you’re building a new home or an addition, how many rooms will you need? Do you want bedrooms located upstairs or downstairs? Does your family need a finished basement? Once you have a general idea of what the home needs, start thinking about more specific features such as the types of flooring, windows, and cabinets you prefer.

If you’re not sure where to begin, try browsing some sample floor plans online. Check out actual building plans, real estate websites, and home magazines to find inspiration and to get a better idea of what’s available.  Also, you can attend the St Cloud MN Tour of Homes (hosted every March). Keep in mind that you don’t need to make any final choices right now. You should simply be thinking about what you like so that you’ll have a general place to start when you meet with your contractor to discuss the estimate.

2. Meet with Your Contractor

Once you’ve started to get a general idea of what you want, schedule a meeting with your contractor to start planning. Your contractor will discuss various options with you and help you find other factors that you might still need to consider, such as the idea of making choices that will allow the home to grow with you over time. Though your contractor won’t be able to give you a final construction cost estimate at this point, he can help you figure out whether or not the features you’re thinking about fall near your budget.

3. Wait to Get Your Estimate

After meeting with your contractor, you can sit back and relax for a bit while you wait for your estimate. During this time, your contractor will work on creating a detailed budget that includes material and labor costs, subcontractor fees, permits, and licenses. If everything is still on track, he’ll then start working on getting estimates from suppliers, electricians, and plumbers who will be providing additional materials or work. Once your contractor has collected all of this information, he’ll put together an accurate and comprehensive construction cost estimate for your St. Cloud, MN home.

4. Refine the Plan

When you receive your estimate, you’ll have a better idea in mind as to whether or not you’re close to your budget. From this point, you can start refining the plans in order to make sure you can afford everything and that the project is still as close to what you want as possible. While it might be hard to cut out features you really wanted, your contractor can help you sort through your wants and needs and make recommendations so that the final plan is both affordable and satisfying.
