Outer Banks Construction and Newly Constructed NC Homes, Renovations, and Vacant Land Developing.

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 the builders. Knowing what you need and how much it generally costs will save big bucks in the overall building process of Outer Banks building and development.

We have become very familiar with the builders and developers over the years and have acquired a great deal of knowledge in what exactly is going into a project. When people ask "how much per square foot cost?," You can't help but struggle at such an open ended question. Outer Banks new construction/developing varies greatly depending on the complexity of the home/project, infrastructure costs, the amount of site work needed, individual town fees/permits, water taps, 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 if you have a plan, a vacant lot (homesites), and an idea of what kind of interior finish.

If you are considering building I would recommend a visit to or a phone meeting sometime. I will be able to find you to a viable piece of Outer Banks land and maximizes the value of your lot with a new home on it. You don't want to under build, and you certainly do not want to overbuild. Knowing that you have a plan that works on your lot, and an idea of what it may cost, will dramatically reduce the "selling process" of the builder. Bidding out to builders knowing you have your floor plans and specifications already in place, puts you in the driver seat when it comes to pricing Outer Banks construction projects. There are plenty of Outer Banks builders to choose from.  Ask me what building costs on the Outer Banks are today.

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.

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 finishes to suit, you will not be able to get an answer from any builder unless you have a in-depth consultation on the building / Developing project.
