- Quality of Materials: Higher-quality materials usually cost more, but they can also increase the longevity and value of the structure.
- Complexity of Design: A complex design might require more time and expertise to construct, increasing labour costs.
- Location: Construction costs can vary by location due to differences in labour rates, availability of materials, and local building regulations.
- Special Features: Any special features or customisations, like high-end finishes or smart home systems, can add to the overall cost.
- Unforeseen Challenges: Issues discovered during construction, like unexpected ground conditions or changes to the design, can lead to additional costs.
