Stick Built or Pre Fabricated
Pre-fabricated homes can have more standardized pricing as the company has set styles, size and prices of materials used when building the home with minimal customization. Hiring someone to build a stick built home allows the owner to have much more customization throughout the process. The owner now has the option of architecture, materials used and many other factors of the home; what can cause the prices to change drastically.
Price of Materials
This is a major factor when building your home. During the height of the pandemic there were shortages on many materials what caused the prices of building materials to increase. As an example, lumber at the height of the pandemic rose to almost $1,700 per thousand board feet currently it is below $1,000. Factors like this are always things to be aware of while building your home.
