      Before we begin the design process, we offer a high-level estimate based on your desired scope and our experience with similar projects in Raleigh. Once we begin designing, we develop a detailed estimate that breaks down costs for every aspect of the build. Custom homes in Raleigh typically range from $300-$400 per square foot, but we’ll work closely with you to finalize the budget as the design progresses.
