Important Consideration
Just keep in mind that the cost mentioned is only for the actual construction work. It doesn’t include the profit that construction companies charge. If you decide to hire a professional construction company, they might add an extra 20-30% to the total cost, depending on their experience and reputation.
For example, companies that have built a lot of houses, like over 200, might charge more because they have a strong history of doing good work and can guarantee quality.
