How Much Does It Cost To Build A House? by JamesStrauss: 12:52pm On Jan 26, 2022
But how much does it cost to build a single house? There are many variables to consider and, surely, your designer will be able to make a more precise and personalized estimate, but here you will understand some specifics better.

In particular, before starting work from scratch you have to evaluate 4 cost items:

the purchase of building land;
the costs of the design;
the cost of urbanization charges, the contribution to the construction cost, municipal and bureaucratic charges for building permits;
the price relating to the actual construction of the property.

Let's see, below, in detail all these essential variables.

Cost of building land:

The first living expense, so to call it, concerns the purchase of an ideal building land to build your home.

However, if you already own one and are willing to use it for your new home, all the better.

Clearly we cannot make precise and unambiguous estimates for the purchase of the land: each area of ​​UK has its own prices and this depends on the region of location, the type of area itself, the proximity to attractive areas, etc.

On average we can assume for a standard building land a cost that starts from 100–200 $ per square meter upwards.

Cost of the project and technical expenses to build the house
After purchasing the land and having the designer do an inspection, you will need to have the project carried out, the cornerstone of the entire construction of your new house.

The architect cost to build a house varies based on many factors, such as experience, skills, curriculum, background but also the area of ​​activity.


Costs of the building permit and municipal charges:

Last, but not least, the item relating to the costs for the construction of the house concerns the amount due to the Municipality following the issue of the Building Permit.

In particular we refer:

to the Concession Contribution with respect to the construction cost, as defined by the Ministerial Decree 9 May 1978, calculated on the square meters of the property, on the energy class and other variables;
to Urbanization Charges, primary or secondary charges, calculated on the square meters of the property.
In general, these two items will cost you around $ 150 per square meter but, as mentioned in several points, the rates vary from municipality to municipality.

Cost per square meter to build a house:

It is not at all easy to make an estimate of how much the construction of your new home can cost per square meter and above all without having first made a definitive project.

You will have to rely on your trusted architect who will be able to draw up a detailed cost estimate to verify that the expense falls within your budget.

In broad terms, however, I can venture the following: the cost of building a single house is around 1500 dollars per square meter, with good quality finishes. https://plumberslubbocktx.com/how-to-find-the-water-leakage/

This price is to be defined relative to the total gross area of ​​the property, house or apartment. Obviously, everything also changes depending on the type of home chosen, the finishes, the type of systems that will be installed, etc.
