Having viewed this 2 years ago.. and having now been through 2 years of battling out costs, I would say you need to produce a whole segment on just how to arrive at the right budget! House plans, different contractors, material markup ALL DIFFER FOR THE SAME AREA. We did the online estimations for one house.. 2200 SF single story.. Online estimates came in at $490K for our area - using several different estimators. So, we then took those specs and went to contractors.. Over $700K? Yikes. IF we had put out for a bank note for that estimated online amount.. we would've been had! The big(est) reasons these were SO off.. 1.) subcontractors in our region were nearly TRIPLE in some cases.. from what online said was "worst case", 2.) Contractor material markup is a BIG deal.. don't ignore that.. you may have built your material budget based on "big box" product costs.. which will NOT work for contractors, 3.) Contractors will NOT build with what they consider sub quality materials.. and so they send you to a "design center".. where the least expensive options are 2 - 3X What you put in the budget!, 4.) Type of house plan you choose can really be MUCH, MUCH higher in cost to build.. and some contractors can't build certain types of houses proficiently or cheaply. (BTW, the architect we used for the initial budgeting process was also way off the high side.. and didn't explain to us accurately enough.. what to do to reduce cost (talk a $1K down the drain!))
So.. all that long winded to say: we finally went to a contractor that took one of their "custom homes" (where they knew the base cost).. used their cost plus models for the changes.. and even with that kind of work.. we still were 20% higher then we had initially planned on.. and we cut out 80% of our "wish list" to achieve this! SO.. While this video is somewhat helpful, you probably should advise people in more comprehensive video covering HOW TO PROPERLY BUDGET to avoid these kinds of pitfalls.. what to expect when working with contractors - especially! Thanks!

My Pinterest board is ready for me to win the lottery so I can build my mansion 😂

The amount of value that you provided in this video is INSANE! Honestly, the best video I have came across yet! This has been so great, thank you for this.

[ericksaavedra]

I’m in this process, and it has been frustrating than many Profesionista don’t follow a clear path like the one you propose. Some minutes of your video have summarized 2 years of personal experience. Thank you!!!!

[farhavens]

I know this is video is a few years old, but this has really helped me with my process for buying a lot and building a custom home. Thanks a lot, I avoided a ton of pitfalls!

[vinayk]

Ive been watching videos regarding the topic for the past 2 weeks non stop- this is absolutely the best one yet, incredibly organised, no running off on tangents and "wait till the end for the main info" gimmicks. Saving this, congrats on the great job and thank you

[PZCherokee]

It's like I just went through a whole class. Thank you so much!

[revealer]

One thing some people do not take into account is how much the property taxes are going to be when the home is finished. I have heard of many stories of how the people could not afford that expense and had to sell their new home.

[dani]

Wow!! So much information in this video! We have purchased our land, chosen our builder, and will be meeting with our architect (who is used by our builder) in a couple of weeks! This provided so much information on the process after the next step! Thank you for breaking it down and taking your time in explaining. Much appreciated!

[TomCarberry]

Thanks for the informative video. I subscribed even though I won't wind up in Houston.

[SrikanthPRABHA]

I miss the “Love’ button first time. This is just brilliant.

[socialmoth]

Great video. It’s may dream to one day design my own custom home. It probably won’t happen for a long time, but I’m working on saving up.

[kmiller]

I am so thankful I found your video. I am starting from scratch….buying land….builder built my current house….realtors helped me sell my family home and move to this current house……and I just want a white ranch style house with white brick and white-sparkling mortar…..like my family home had…..I will definitely support this channel in the future!

[yvgfjayne]

Thank you. Love the clear, organized and experienced insight. This will be very helpful as we sally forth into a great unknown….

[pc]

We are building again, but this time we have to do every thing from scratch without our realtor. This is so helpful, and I subscribed immediately, never seen anyone gone so thoroughly to provide so much information. Thank you sir for such a great work you put together!!

[southerncharmwreaths]

Wow! Lots of great information! Thank you!!

[mosesdachen]

This is very informative. Do you build in the Dalla/Ft. Worth area?

[miked]

Wow!!! I've seen a lot of vids on this tpoic, and this one blows the others away!
