Pricing Considerations

  • Our standard Flexhouse designs are currently priced between $500 and $550 per square foot for all construction and infrastructure costs within the building site (excluding only land and design costs).
  • Our clients save on design fees when choosing one of our Flexhouse designs since we don’t charge for
    drawings and designs we have already done.
  • Even with modifications to a standard model, cost efficiencies and sustainable building practices are part of every step of the process.
