Getting to know the costs of a residential
construction

• It is a known fact that the cost involved in
  making a house is very large and it may be the
  biggest investment you make in your entire life.
  This is due to the high costs of the materials
  that are needed for the construction of any
  residential complex. So, when you are determined
  to build a house of your own or may be add a new
  part to your existing house, is rest assured that
  you will have to spend a lot of money. Since the
  cost of constructing a house is very big you must
  get hold of a constructor that does not charges a
  lot of money on labor costs and materials. Most
  of all the construction company must be honest.

Get the know the total cost of construction by
yourself
It is inhuman to know all the factors and the all
the cost that you might have to pay to build a
house but at the same time you must have an idea
of what the approximate costs should be. There
are many websites that will give you an estimate
of the total cost of the construction depending
on the design of the house you want. Normally,
the residential construction cost is divided into
two parts and they are soft and hard. The hard
costs are the costs that involve the materials
needed and the costs of the labor. On the other
hand the soft costs include architects fee,
insurance, appraisals among many others. There
are also many other factors that determine the
total cost of the house. Some of these are
heating, quality, material used, cooling,
geographic location of the plot, design, features
and shape of the house.

The number of corners you want to have for the
house

• This is very important as the estimate of
  constructing the house depends on the outside
  perimeters shape. A complex shape of the total
  area will increase the cost of the construction
  as it will lead to added expenses due to the
  complicated structure of the floor area. Most of
  the residential houses have four, six, eight and
  ten corners while the garage area is the other
  outline involved in all construction jobs.

• Determine the quality of the house you are going
  to build

• The size of your living area

• It is fairly easy to say that a small house will
  have less living area compared to a big house and
  the cost of constructing a small house is also
  very low when compared to a big house as well.
  The living area must be measured and then the
  cost of construction must be made and the
  estimate must include other surcharges such as
  lean-tos, annexes and other additions, but the
  porch, attic and basement must be excluded.

• The cost of the house will depend greatly on the
  quality of the materials used and the quality of
  the construction. You could choose the best
  possible materials at a high cost or you could go
  for the sub standard materials at a much lower
  costs. Though everyone wants to use the best
  materials but not everyone can afford it. Though
  this is an investment where you will most likely
  to spend your entire life you must use the high
  quality materials for the roofs, bathrooms, doors
  and windows, plumbing, floors, kitchen and the
  walls.
