The final costs for this project stretched the owner's budget, but not past a breaking point. We have seen fairly substantial construction costs in our part of the country, and this was no exception. We didn't get "all in" final construction numbers, but it was in the $225/per square foot ball park for the house construction. It should be noted that this isn't substantially more than standard construction in our region however, and the high performance qualities of the build were not the sole reason for the high construction cost.
