Today, even average single family home sizes have been rising in finished area square footage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As of 2015, nationally the average home size has increased to 2,800 feet, per a report from the National Home Builders Association (NABA).

Typically when <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_articles\/custom_home_building\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">building a custom home<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>, the buyers require the home to have larger and upmarket kitchen and bathroom appliances and features. For example, radiant heating is often used in kitchen and bathroom floors in custom homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In bathrooms, you\u2019ll typically find custom tiled showers with multiple water jet-heads, and with separate Jacuzzi tubs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moreover, you\u2019ll often see a toilet and a bidet in a master bedroom en suite. Cabinetry and countertops are also higher end, with more exotic hardwoods being used for the cabinetry and granite or quartz being used for the countertops.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-381 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg\" alt=\"Home Addition Bid Sheets\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Custom Home Construction Costs and Lot Sizes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another important factor that impacts custom home construction costs is the lot size the home is built on. Again, according to NABA, the average new home built today sits on a half an acre lot (approximately 20,000 square feet) and costs around $85K for the lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With custom house construction, the lot size can be quite a bit larger, e.g. many acres. However, in some cases a custom home may be sitting on only just a third of an acre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">However, with custom home building, the land is usually priced at a premium for certain reasons, regardless of its lot size. For example, a luxury custom home is often found located on a lot that sits beside a body of water or on a golf course. Waterfront land, and property that abuts a golf course, are a scarcity, and thus the price for the building lot is much higher than the typical lot you find an average house built on. And so, as a result of the higher land costs, the average cost of custom home construction on a per square foot basis is much higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Architect\u2019s Impact on Custom Home Construction<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For the average home buyer, he or she typically goes to a new housing develop that is being built, sits down with the builder or real estate firm representing the builder, and selects a house style and floor plan from half a dozen choices offered by the builder. The prospective buyer also picks one of the lots available in the development for their new home.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5738 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home_Mortgages-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Custom home construction costs.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home_Mortgages-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Home_Mortgages.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With custom home construction the process is usually different. Often the homebuyer already has purchased the lot and is looking to have a custom home built on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Thus, they end up hiring an architect to develop a custom house design that meets their specific requirements and that will functionally work well on the property that they have already purchased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Hiring an architect can add anywhere from 5 to 15% to the total cost of the custom home construction project, depending upon how the architect is utilized. For example, an architect can simply draw up the blueprints and material lists for the custom home, and that may add up to around 5% of the total custom home construction costs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">However, an architect can also provide other services, such as managing the entire custom home construction project. As a result, they put a lot more time into the project, which causes their costs to grow upwards to 15% of the total home building construction costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>New Custom Home Construction Costs Extra Time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition to higher house building construction costs, custom homes take longer to build. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Unlike a home being built in a large development of new homes, getting sub-contractors to show up to a custom home development site takes more effort and time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/Home_Addition_form_Ad_Small_rev1.jpg') no-repeat top; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; height: 190px; width: 275px;\">\n<form action=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/UHI-info\/Additions.htm#form\" method=\"get\"><input style=\"float: left; width: 80px; margin: 110px -255px 50px 165px;\" name=\"PC\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" \/><br \/>\n<input style=\"float: right; background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-btn-next.gif'); height: 34px; width: 91px; border: 0px solid #000000; ; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 25px; margin-top: 130px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, with a custom home project there are typically more higher-end building materials used, which often results in longer lead times getting all the materials to the jobsite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moreover, the unique features often included in a new custom home construction project take longer to construct. For example, the installation of radiant floor heating takes a lot longer to install than slapping on to the finished walls some electric baseboard heating elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So to conclude, there are legitimate reasons why custom home construction costs are much higher than the average home construction project. Simply put, there are economies of scale that a buyer can take advantage of when choosing to have built a new house in a large new housing development. Those economies of scale don\u2019t exist when building a custom home on a private lot. In addition, higher land costs, larger home sizes, and higher end features that typically accompany a custom home build project translate in the end to significantly higher square feet home construction costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>For more help on how to build a custom home<\/b><\/span>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s<b><span lang=\"en-us\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/new-home-construction-bid-sheet\/\">New Home Construction Bid Sheet<\/a><\/span><span lang=\"EN\">. <\/span><\/b>The<b> <span lang=\"EN\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/new-home-construction-bid-sheet\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">New Home Construction Bid Sheet<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> provides you with the knowledge you will need on how to plan for the building of a custom home, and what to look for when hiring contractors for your new custom home building project.
