Cost comparison of a stick build vs. Valubuild

The following calculator is to be used as a basic guide to estimate the cost of having a contractor stick build a home for you from the ground up (ie from foundation to turn key) vs. building a home using our system. Valubuild does not supply any labor for the construction of the home, nor does it supply any of the materials to finish the home (ie windows, doors, exterior siding, etc.) It is the sole responsibility of the home kit buyer to source out any contractors and suppliers for the materials to build and finish the home.

The following cost per square foot data was obtained from:

Disclaimer: These costs are estimates based only on the square footage of the home, and don't include land prices, garages, porches, decking, bonus space, intricate roofing, large number of windows, etc. Estimates may vary from actual costs by as much as 100% in some areas due to the many factors involved in building a stock house plan including quality of materials used, builder's costs, local price variances, and seasonal price fluctuations. You must get estimates from your local home-building professionals to determine an accurate cost of construction in your situation. We are not responsible for the accuracy and applicability of this information.
