- Size of the House: The bigger the house, the higher the cost due to more materials and labour needed.
- Design Complexity: Complex designs require more time, skill, and materials, which can increase the cost.
- Custom Features: Custom features like extra rooms, high-end fixtures, or unique architectural elements can add to the cost.
- Location: The cost can vary depending on your location, particularly if it impacts the ease of transporting materials or the availability of skilled labour.
- Site Preparation: If the construction site requires significant preparation or clearing, this can add to the initial costs.

Labour Costs
Labour costs can vary based on the complexity of the design, the size of the house, and the local labour rates. More complex designs or larger houses require more labour hours, increasing the overall cost.
