If you're planning a custom build in the Okanagan, the honest answer to 'what does it cost?' is: it depends — but it doesn't have to be a mystery.
Cost per square foot in our region typically ranges from the mid-$300s for classic finishes to the mid-$500s and beyond for signature-level homes. But cost per square foot is a blunt instrument. Two homes of identical size can vary enormously based on site conditions, the complexity of the design, and the finishes you choose.
The biggest drivers? Site work (slope, rock, servicing), the building envelope (Step Code level, glazing), kitchens and bathrooms, and finishes. A great way to keep yours on budget is to align design and pricing from the very first sketch — which is exactly why we build design-build.
The best move you can make early is a fixed-scope price tied to a defined scope of work. That way the number you sign for is the number you close on, with changes agreed in writing before they happen.
