What It Costs to Build

A simple price-per-square-foot rule of thumb won't capture what makes the Hatley II tick: the steep 10:12 primary roof pitch, 387 sq ft of covered porch space across a front and rear porch, and a 782 sq ft three-car garage all drive costs in ways that square footage alone never reflects.

Steep 10:12 roof pitch with multiple pitches

The Hatley II carries a 10:12 primary roof pitch — among the steeper slopes common in farmhouse design — along with four secondary pitches (5:12, 3.5:12, 12:12, and 6:12). Complex, high-pitched rooflines require more framing labor, additional roofing material, and greater safety staging, pushing costs meaningfully above what a simple gabled ranch demands.

782 sq ft three-car garage plus 387 sq ft of covered porches

The attached three-car garage adds 782 sq ft of slab, framing, and door hardware that cost-per-heated-square-foot estimates completely ignore. The 263 sq ft front porch and 124 sq ft rear porch add structural columns, additional roofing, and concrete flatwork — all real line items that vary significantly by region and contractor.

ZIP code

Labor rates, permit fees, and material markets vary widely by region — your ZIP code is the single biggest reason a national average can mislead you when budgeting this plan.

Questions, answered

How accurate is the cost estimate for the Hatley II?+

The estimate is a planning-grade starting point, not a guaranteed price. It is built from current regional cost data broken down by trade for your ZIP code, giving you a realistic range to begin your planning conversations. You should confirm the numbers with licensed local contractors and a builder familiar with conditions in your area before making financial commitments.

Does the $32.95 report guarantee what I will pay to build this plan?+

No. The Cost to Build Report provides a detailed, ZIP-adjusted planning estimate — it is not a contractor bid, a construction contract, or an appraisal. Actual costs will depend on your final site conditions, the builder you choose, material selections, and market conditions at the time of construction.

Can I use this report before I buy the Hatley II plan?+

Absolutely — that is one of the best ways to use it. Many shoppers run the Cost to Build Report first to confirm the Hatley II fits their budget before spending $1,395 on the plan itself. The $32.95 report is completely independent of the plan purchase.

What exactly is included in the $32.95 Cost to Build Report?+

The report contains 60-plus line items covering every major trade and cost category — from site work, foundation, and framing through roofing, windows, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, insulation, drywall, finishes, and more. Every line item is adjusted for your specific ZIP code. The report is delivered as both a PDF and an Excel file so you can share it with contractors or adjust assumptions yourself.

Does this work for any ZIP code in the United States?+

Yes. The cost estimator covers all U.S. ZIP codes, drawing on localized labor, permit, and material data for each region. Whether you are building in a high-cost metro or a rural market, the report adjusts accordingly.

Is the Cost to Build Report an appraisal of the finished home's value?+

No. The report estimates what it may cost to construct the Hatley II — it is a construction cost estimate, not an appraisal and not a determination of market value. For a formal appraisal or lending purposes, you would need to engage a licensed appraiser.
