What Drives Cost?
What pushes the price up?
You can expect prices to increase about 3-5% every year due to cost of living.
Higher cost items:
- Older homes (before 1980)
- Quality fixtures and materials
- Professional design & material selection
- Structural changes
- Moving plumbing or electric
What pulls the price down?
You can ‘value engineer’ a project by making smart choices and investing where it counts.
Ways to Save:
- Keeping layout & utilities in place
- Selecting mid-grade framed cabinets
- Re-using functional appliances (but budget for replacement within 5 yrs)
- Scheduling work outside peak demand (Jan–Feb often 5 % cheaper)
