If you're in the early stages of planning a custom home, you've probably seen online calculators that spit out numbers like "$350/sq ft" or "2,000 sq ft = $700,000."

Here's the problem: those numbers are fantasyland. They don't reflect real Pacific Northwest labor rates, real material costs, or the real decisions that drive your budget (site conditions, finishes, form complexity).

This calculator is different. It's grounded in actual projects I've guided—not generic algorithms. It reflects real contractor bids, real supplier pricing, and real costs for homes in the South Sound region.

Here's how it works:

1. Adjust the sliders to match your priorities (kitchen finishes, window strategy, special spaces, site conditions)

2. Watch the estimate update in real time

3. (Optional) Enter your email to get a detailed breakdown + a personalized note from me about your priorities

Fair warning: This might be the most expensive estimate you've ever seen—because it's the most accurate one you'll find. But accuracy now prevents costly surprises later.

Ready? Let's see what you're working with.

Adjust the options and watch the numbers update in real time.
