How to calculate Cost to Build a House in Less than 10 minutes?
The REAL cost to build a house isn't the price per square foot your builder quotes. That's the number that runs most first-time builders out of money halfway through the build. In this video, I show you how to find your real number - hard costs, soft costs, the lot, and the cash you actually need in your pocket - in under 10 minutes. Free template included.

Everyone's saying 2026 is the worst time to build your house.
Tariffs are up. Costs are out of control. Just wait it out.
We've built 25 houses. I'm on 3 active job sites right now. Here's what nobody is telling you:
📍 Local materials? Up 1-2%. Barely moved.
📍 Labor? Down 10-20%.
📍 Framing dropped from $8 to $6 per square foot
📍 Stucco dropped from $9.75 to $6.75 per square foot
On a 2,500 sqft house - that's $5,000 saved on framing alone. Money you can put toward your kitchen, your flooring, or your lot.
I track every dollar on every build. I put together a real spreadsheet: 2025 vs 2026 costs, line by line. Concrete, framing, drywall, stucco, electrical - exactly where prices went up and where they dropped.
Contractors are calling ME now looking for work. No waiting lists. No 6-month delays like in 2022. If you've been sitting on your dream home - now is actually a good time to move.
Importing European windows? Yeah, tariffs hurt there.
Standard build with local suppliers? You're saving money in 2026.
Comment COST - I'll send you the free spreadsheet plus a 16-min video where I walk through every single line item using real numbers from my Austin builds happening right now.
