Current and Future Construction Costs


Whether you are thinking of remodeling, renovating or building new, the biggest hurdle for most is the cost of construction.  Planning your project is a delicate balancing act between what you want in your home and what you need, and somewhere between those two limits is where you will want to add up.  Often times, people come in with a concept only to find out that they can't afford it. How do you avoid this? Planning!!. Working with a team of professionals who know design, construction, permitting and costs allows the consumer to set realistic expectations, budgets and goals.  Our suggestion is to find out what you can afford to spend, and then tailor a project to achieve goals that are within that budget.  Construction costs, although stable in many respects have changed, especially in the coastal areas of Massachusetts..
