Outer Banks Construction - New Construction Homes

Outer Banks Construction projects can be an overwhelming task if you are not familiar with the process. If you are looking to build an investment home on the Outer Banks you will feel comfortable having the added land knowledge from your real estate agent before you talk to any builders. Knowing what you need and how much things generally cost will save a great deal of time in the overall process of Outer Banks building and development.

We are familiar with the builders and developers, and have acquired a great deal of knowledge in single family construction and developing. It's difficult to answer "how much per square foot?" Outer Banks new construction / developing costs vary on the complexity of the home / project, infrastructure costs, the amount of site work needed, individual town fees/permits, water taps, and what level of finish one expects in their home, and the type of floor plan from your architects / home designer. Single family building cost can be anywhere between $100-200+ per square foot. The only way to know is to have a house plan, an identified vacant lot (homesites), & an idea of your desired interior/exterior/landscape finish.

If you're considering the building path, I would recommend starting a dialogue with us so you can sort through the basic mechanics. We will be able to find you to a viable piece of Outer Banks land, and then maximize the value of that lot with a new construction home (builder of your choice). You don't want to under build, and you certainly do not want to overbuild. Knowing you have your floor / house plans and specifications already in place, provides you with more accurate pricing when it comes to bidding Outer Banks construction projects. There are plenty of Outer Banks builders to talk to.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS - Here is an example of the various construction costs budget spreadsheet items you will see in a typical building contract. You want to look for a detailed breakdown in your building contract so you are sure where your money is going to build your project. Also make sure you have clear specifications so you know the quality of materials that will go into your new construction home. NEW HOME/LOT EXAMPLE:

Please look at the specifications sheet and look through all the different items you and you builder should know prior to getting hard pricing on a new construction home. If you were to add or subtract a few thousand dollars from each budget item you would realize a wildly changing price as you divided that price by the square footage of a home. Builders who are confident in "throwing out a price", already have a floor plan and specifications in mind for you. If you want to pick out your own floor plan and design the interior finish to suit, you will need an in-depth consultation on the building project, lot, neighborhodd, etc..
