Working
  1. Construction = 200 m² × 500.00 = 100,000
  2. Split by stage with the NAHB 2024 shares for new US homes: site work 7.6%, foundations 10.5%, framing 16.6%, exterior 13.4%, systems 19.2%, interior 24.1%, final steps 6.5%, other 2.1%
  3. Design fees = 100,000 × 8.0% = 8,000
  4. Contingency = (100,000 + 8,000) × 10.0% = 10,800
  5. House = 100,000 + 8,000 + 10,800 + 10,000 = 128,800; with land 60,000: 188,800
