We are frequently asked the cost of building a project. Universally the answer is: It depends what you build. Following is a list of some of the elements that go into homes in our region and their installed costs. The prices will vary depending on the supplier, contractor and the market conditions at the time of the bid. These prices were provided by suppliers and contractors in early 2016 (Technically late 2015)Â .

Because there are thousands of small choices that make up a home, it is easy to see how the price can vary by sometimes large amounts depending on those choices.

Hi Mr. Crisp –
I so LOVE your work. I wrote you earlier when I saw the porch and the small home in CT in an online article. Having gone through these items on your new web site – the work is outstanding. I loved what you did with the carriage/garages and I have an old barn – and an old house but for me finding someone to help me decide what to do and a cost accounting is tough. I always get told “don’t sell the barn” but yet no one wants to really tell me how to remodel or take it down to put a new house there.
I love the idea of a kennel building for my dogs and I bet you’d have great ideas for that. Again…I love the work and would love a home about 1000 sq feet….
I still haven’t won that lottery yet, although the vision is becoming more clear.
Thanks for letting me comment.
Celebrate everything,

Hello Mr. Crisp,
We are looking to replace/ upgrade windows on a 1990/91 center hall colonial. We would like to elongate the size (currently, standard ’91 Anderson High Performance/ snap grille ~46″x36″). I see the brands referenced above, is there any one manufacturer that is your go-to- window supplier? Choosing replacement windows seems overwhelming as well as costly, and one can easily find negative complaints on just about every commercial brand out there. I would greatly appreciate any insight you may offer. I am a fond admirer of you work and greatly enjoy your blog.
Thank you kindly,
Cris
