Métrica Architects

Construction Cost Estimator
for Custom Homes

A two-step planning tool. Step 1 sizes your home from the rooms you select. Step 2 prices it across the three components of construction cost. Combined, you get a planning-level budget before any drawings are produced.

Step 1 · Size

Size Your Home.

Select the rooms you need. Adjust dimensions if your version is bigger or smaller. The total adds 20% on top of the room subtotal for circulation, and includes the garage at full square footage.

Step 2 · Budget

Estimate the Construction Cost.

Pick a level of design ambition. We'll combine it with your square footage from Step 1 to give you a planning-level budget for construction.

Construction Cost = Size × Design Ambition

We wrote a five-part walk-through of what custom homes cost — from the components, to why "cost per square foot" can be misleading, to setting a real budget before you start designing.
