Love the design and finishing! Well done !

[nachowifi]

I definitely understand paying more for the 1st build to avoid any issues. If you were to do this again, Im confident youd save yourself at least 100K. Looks great!

[dropthebassline]

Awesome video. How did you fund the build?

[FinersDiner]

It well done! Congrats on the finished product.

[afterdarkZ]

Looks like a nice build, but the numbers are off somewhere. Those "key expenses" add up to $324.5k. There's usually some miscellaneous costs, too. For example the plans cost $2k.

[rorymckernan]

Great video, thank you! What was the cost of the lumber and framing? That was the only thing I didn't catch.

[gilesdalrymple]

Nice design choices btw. Where did you get the cabinet fronts for the kitchen? All from Fisher & Paykel or from another supplier? thanks for sharing your build.

[gretahancock]

thank you for sharing this breakdown! so helpful as we have Den plans and are still budgetting and planning the build out. Where is the hot tub from?

[tedroberts]

As a kiwi home of Fisher and Paykel - we say PIE-KEL not paykel. Love your home

[ploglet]

Great video. What did you spend on the foundation?

[gandr.e.]

Here in Texas my builder is building for $90.00sqft. With his fees on something like this would be around $25, 000.00 to $30, 000.00. With other soft cost it can be built for about $150, 000.00. A 1, 000sqft should not cost that much. Nice build and thanks for sharing from a fellow North Carolinian (Fayetteville).

Is the $300k including land? Just curious as the key expenses in the description add up to $324k.

[lucaslu]

Curious - how big is the land and does it have any specific features like a view or access to trails?

[ryancoody]

I expected half a million! Including land, 300k is impressive.

[THNKKY]

That was the longest 8 minute video I’ve ever watched

[Dorchwoods]

Thats a great price and seems pretty spot on. People love to chime in and say "I cOulDa bUilT iT foR 100k". Lol, theyre delusional and stuck in the 90s.

The place looks amazing btw!

[maxmoser]

Just to be clear, all in this build actually cost him $450-500k. He didn't include the land cost, land prep, foundation cost, etc. in his "total." Why even mention the land cost and not include it in the total cost? Can you build this house on a cloud? 🤷

[paulchase]

300k including land? definitely pricey but you could pick up land for 25k if you buy it right

[pnw_wanderer]

What part of this is “prefab”. The use of that word is like “nazi” or “commie”
