Building a custom home is exciting, but understanding costs can be an issue for homeowners. One of the most common questions we hear at VT Contracting is: “What does it cost to build per square foot?” But the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every home we build is as unique as the family who will live in it, and costs can vary depending on a range of factors. Let’s break it down and show you how we come up with pricing for new construction homes.
Custom Homes Are Truly Custom
When you work with a custom builder like VT Contracting, your home isn’t a pre-packaged design with a fixed price. Every project is uniquely tailored to your personal style, needs, and the specific characteristics of your lot. Because of this, the cost per square foot can vary widely based on your choices. From the type of materials and finishes to architectural features and the overall complexity of the layout, each decision plays a role in shaping the final cost.

Why Pricing Per Square Foot Isn’t the Whole Story
While it’s tempting to focus solely on a per-square-foot number, it doesn’t tell the full story. With VT Contracting, you’re not just paying for walls and a roof; you’re investing in a personalized experience, professional project management, and a home that’s built to last for decades. We deliver custom-built homes that strike the perfect balance between lasting quality, smart value, and your individual style.
