Cost of Building a Modern Home

What is the cost of building a modern home?

The short answer is that it depends. But based on our experience designing these types of homes we have put together three cost ranges for a custom 3,000 square foot modern house to help you get started.

Excluded from this cost is the following: land, surveys, site excavation and preparation, design fees, permitting fees and interior design. To discuss the specifics of your project, please call Mette at Aamodt / Plumb at (617) 876-9300 xt. 12 or email us at mette[at]aamodtplumb.com.
