Home Building Costs

The PMHI panelized building kit is only a small part of the total building cost. On average our building kits are about 20% - 35% of the total building cost. Actual building costs can vary depending upon building site specifics and the choice of finish materials. For example, snow loads and building on sloping lots will increase building costs. This estimate doesn't include land, utilities, site work, landscaping or building fees.

In order to help our customers identify building costs beyond the PMHI building kit, PMHI has developed a proprietary computer program that we call the 'Construction Cost Estimator'. Your local PMHI dealer can help you generate an anticipated construction estimate. No other company provides this much information before you build.

Another helpful tool is a 'Construction Cost Breakdown'. This is part of the paperwork that a construction lender requires to get a loan. It lists the most common budget items used for a building project. It can look difficult but usually you would complete it with the help of your General Contractor and local PMHI representative.
