PRICING

Building your dream home is an exciting journey, but navigating the cost factors can feel overwhelming. At AUSMAR, we believe in transparent pricing and want to empower you with the knowledge of how home size and layout influence the overall cost.

Square Footage Matters:

It’s no surprise that the size of your home is a major price driver. Simply put, more square footage translates to more materials, labour, and construction time. This includes everything from foundation work and framing to roofing and interior finishes.

Layout Plays a Role:

While square footage is important, the layout of your home also plays a significant role in determining the final cost. Here are some layout features that can impact the price:

• Complexity: Homes with intricate layouts featuring multiple hallways, angled walls, or bay windows typically require more custom framing and finishing work, leading to higher costs compared to simpler rectangular layouts.
• Open Floor Plans: While popular for their spacious feel, open floor plans often necessitate additional structural support beams to accommodate larger, open spaces. This can add to the construction cost.
• Vaulted Ceilings: These dramatic architectural elements require additional framing and materials to create the vaulted effect. Additionally, they may necessitate taller walls, impacting the overall building materials needed.
• Number of Stories: Two-storey homes generally have a smaller footprint compared to single-story homes with the same square footage. However, they require additional structural support for the second floor, potentially impacting the cost.

Understanding These Factors:

By understanding how size and layout influence cost, you can make informed decisions during the planning phase. Discussing these factors with your builder allows for a more accurate estimate and helps you prioritise features that align with your budget and vision.
