An aspect of being accurate is you may find your initial design costs more than you expected. No problem, that happens with people designing their home over 90% of the time. With FULL FUNCTION™ you are still in financial control.

With our patented estimating engine you simply change “What-If?” options for building materials, design features and home size until you are satisfied with the design and within budget. It’s called being an empowered consumer. Never before have you had the ability to accurately, easily and quickly determine the cost of building your dream house and if needed, how to get it in budget.

How It Works:

Here is an overview of how FULL FUNCTION™ works and how easy it is to use.

1. Select Your Project Location: Once you purchase your account you simply enter the 5-digit zip code for your project location. We have over 40,000 zip codes including every city in the continental United States plus coverage for Alaska, Hawaii and Canada.
2. Select Your Design: FULL FUNCTION™ leads you easily through a series of screens with questions and options about your unique home design. From home style and size, to roof and dormers to garages and basement or crawlspace options, Home-Cost explores all aspects of your home design characteristics.
3. Select Your Materials: Once design decisions are established, you are guided by through a broad range of options for construction materials. You can even select finishes such as cabinetry, counter tops, flooring and more, all at a room-by-room level. Selecting the construction materials you want tailors the cost estimate to reflect your specific home design, not some “typical” or “generic” set of material assumptions. FULL FUNCTION™ also provides energy conserving or sustainable design “Green” construction material options such as ICF (Insulated Concrete Form), SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) and Timber Frame.
4. Explore “What-If?” Options: One of the powerful features of FULL FUNCTION™ is real time cost feedback to get your construction budget in balance. Only Home-Cost provides real-time cost feedback as you make choices in home size, design features or construction materials. The interactive nature of FULL FUNCTION™ allows easy What-If? re-evaluations of different design characteristics or construction material combinations to get your budget in balance. You can stop guessing and now confidently know what the cost impact is of changing any design or material option you made, from changing the size of the home or the size of a room like a kitchen or bath to changing a counter top from plastic laminate to soapstone.
5. Review and Print Cost Reports: Once you are satisfied with your estimate you may print it out or export* your cost report to Excel®. FULL FUNCTION™ comes in three levels of cost report breakdown providing just the detail you need. NOTE: Costs are shown as a combined furnish and installed unit price for the Assembly item. Labor and material pricing are not individually shown.
