Across the board (with the exeption of of a few vendors like appliances ) our vendors are reporting that their labor and material costs are relatively low. The pricing we have been getting for direct costs of new custom homes & large additions to homes in the Washington DC area have remained low for a few years now. However, we are noticing vendors getting slightly busier than they’ve been in the last year or two.

Here’s one of our excellent vendors, Glen Embry, of Metcalf HVAC, explaining what he thinks of the current market:

Our award winning staff architect has created over 60 new home plans in our Paramount Portfolio of New Homes that fit seamlessly into our Maryland, Northern Virginia & Washington DC area neighborhoods. You can choose from one of these new home plans, modify one of these new home plans or we’ll create a new custom home plan just for you. We’ll present an architectural rendering of the front of your new custom home and concept home floorplan.

You save when we pass our wholesale new home building material selection cost savings on to you. We are Wood-Mode Kitchen & Bath Cabinet Dealers. This means lower new home costs to you (plus a smoother new home design process)

Sometimes a building contractor may forget to include some construction costs in the initial stages of your new home design- this can be an unpleasant surprise once a custom home or major home addition project gets underway. With our proprietary approach, our staff architect & new home construction professionals work as a team from the start, this results in minimizing any unforeseen costs.

When you build with Paramount Construction you may choose a new home from our Paramount Portfolio of Homes or we’ll custom design a new custom home just for you.  We also design & build large additions to homes & home renovation projects.

We are Architects & Builders. We design & build luxury new homes in the Metro Washington D.C. area. Working with our staff new home architect from the beginning of your new custom home project, our estimating department gives you accurate, fixed cost prices & you don’t have to spend thousands of additional dollars in architectural design fees.

Paramount Construction nominated for another MNCBIA Custom builder award.
Here’s a look at the inside and an interview of the homeowner.
The judges from MNCBIA loved the home too. They almost wouldn’t
leave. Click Here & take a look at this home we designed and built.
This is a great example of why owners come to us for design
and construction. Anyone can design a “plain-old-box” of a house.
Lots of builder around town basically design and sell the exact same plan.
You can actually get the plan at your local Giant or Safeway while you’re
standing in the checkout line.
We’ve discovered that the Washington D.C. area has many owners
with more discerning tastes and sense of design. Our plans are
designed differently.

These are not “cookie cutter” homes. Take a look here

Yet, as great as the design is, our pricing very reasonable.
When we present a home price the price is all inclusive.
Many other builders start at $85 per square foot over the phone.
The problem is that by the time they add permits, excavation, engineering,
dumpsters, driveways, upgrade the vinyl floor to wood, upgrade the vinyl
siding to hardiplank their over $200 per square foot. Plus it takes these guys
months of your time until you finally extract all the information out of ’em.

Let me know what you’ve found in the market place as you talk with
building companies out there. I’d like to hear from you.
