Guaranteed Detailed Cost Breakdown

At the same time we develop the Lifestyle Analysis©, we also develop a detailed cost breakdown. This is unique for a couple of reasons:

Most builders don’t have the knowledge or resources to provide an accurate and detailed cost breakdown without having complete plans. The problem is, by the time you have a complete set of plans, you’ve already spent a lot of money and time with an Architect. Architects generally don’t maintain an extensive cost database that is current; nor do they need one. In addition, we often find that knowledge of design and constructability (which includes cost-effectiveness of design) are two very different things. For example, a lot with significant slope can be designed many ways, some cost-effective and some not. There could be a savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars by having a knowledgeable Builder at your side from the beginning.

Secondly, only Jenkins guarantees that we will be within +/- 5% on the original design cost. We can do this because we’ve developed a proprietary job costing system that allows us to tell you what your home will cost, in a great amount of detail, even before you have architectural plans.

We are one of the only builders that provide a detailed cost estimate with the original design. This gives our customers a “Proof of Concept” that the house they want is a house they can afford.
