Pricing Guide – Transparent Cost Breakdown
At Emory Construction, we believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing. We know that embarking on a home remodel or custom build is a major investment, and our goal is to provide you with the clarity and confidence needed to make informed decisions. While every project is unique, this pricing guide offers a realistic expectation of costs based on our expertise and experience.
What Determines the Cost of Your Remodel?
Several key factors impact the overall cost of your project:
-
Project Scope & Complexity – A full remodel involves significantly more work than a cosmetic refresh.
-
Material Selections – Premium materials such as custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and high-end flooring increase costs but enhance longevity and aesthetic appeal.
-
Structural Modifications – Changes to load-bearing walls, plumbing, or electrical systems add to the budget due to labor and compliance costs.
-
Unforeseen Issues – Older homes may conceal issues like outdated wiring or hidden plumbing leaks, which require attention before proceeding.
-
Permits & Code Compliance – Ensuring that all work meets local building codes and permit requirements can influence overall expenses.
-
Labor & Specialized Trades – Skilled labor is essential to delivering the highest quality craftsmanship, and demand for these experts affects pricing.
To maintain financial preparedness, we allocate an additional 10%-20% contingency to cover unexpected conditions that may arise during construction.
Project Timelines – How Long Does a Remodel Take?
Your project’s timeline depends on its size and complexity:
-
Small to Medium Remodels: 3-4 months
-
Larger Remodels: 4-8 months
-
Custom Home Builds: 8+ months
Factors like material availability, permitting, unexpected site conditions, and client-requested modifications can influence the schedule. To keep your project on track, we prioritize proactive planning and clear communication every step of the way.
