Step #1: Communicate your Level of Investment
It is critical to communicate your level of investment at the first initial meeting. The Design-Build Investment includes Conceptual and Final Planning, Design Development & Construction. The average starting cost for a 2100-3200 SF conservative custom home in Massachusetts starts around 800K This is based on our own client projects. Every upgraded selection and wishlist item adds to this cost.

Step #3: Creative Solutions to include Wishlist Items
Once you have a budget for the basic build cost, this allows us to work together to make realistic selections for interior finishes & fixtures based on what budget allows while prioritizing the areas of importance. We help find creative solutions to incorporate some of your wishlist items or plan for them to be added in the future.

How is Working with Ironwood Different from working with other Builders?
At Ironwood Studio, we pre-select all finishes & fixtures prior to gathering quotes from our Pre-Vetted Sub-Contractors & Vendors. This approach allows the opportunity to scale back if necessary to meet Investment Goals. We are a one-stop shop from floor plans to furnishings and your one point of contact throughout the Build. Our goal is to make this an enjoyable experience while eliminating the decision overload and handling the thousands of decisions that need to be made so you can continue living your busy lives.
With our many years of experience, we’ll be with you every step of the way in setting an investment level you are comfortable with…and bringing your dream home to life.
