What Determines the Cost of Your Construction Project?

Construction costs vary based on materials, labor, permits, and project complexity. At 303 Construction, we help clients understand cost factors upfront to avoid budget overruns and make smart financial choices.

1. Location & Site Conditions

• Difficult terrain or poor soil conditions increase excavation and foundation costs.
• Urban areas (like downtown Denver) may have higher labor and permit fees.

2. Design Complexity & Customization

• Simple rectangular buildings cost less than custom architectural designs.
• Luxury features like vaulted ceilings, smart home systems, and custom millwork add to the budget.

3. Choice of Materials

Material	Average Cost Per Sq. Ft.
Standard Drywall	$1.50 – $2.50
Hardwood Flooring	$8 – $15
Custom Cabinetry	$500 – $1,200 per linear foot
Energy-Efficient Windows	$400 – $1,200 per window

4. Labor & Contractor Fees

• Highly skilled labor (e.g., stonemasons, carpenters, electricians) costs more.
• Larger projects require general contractors and project managers, increasing costs.

5. Project Timeline

• Faster projects require overtime labor, raising costs.
• Weather delays and permit hold-ups can add unexpected expenses.
