Get Started

The L.U.S.H. Process

We appreciate you reaching out to learn more about building a L.U.S.H. Home. Every L.U.S.H. Home is
unique and has its own individual pricing. However we currently have multiple models to provide
examples of process, designs, and costs we offer for the finished structure.

Consulting and Permitting Process

To begin layout plans we request a deposit of $5,000 per building design to get started. Layouts
currently depending on backlog take 4-6 weeks to be completed. We will then review the site and supply preliminary feedback and agree on the general scope of work (number of beds/bathrooms, size, style, general timeline, etc.) Revisions from this meeting typically take 1-2 weeks to be completed per revision; 1-2 revisions before moving to step 2 in the process.

Upon completion of layout drawings with the revisions,we will sit down and provide an estimate for the finished permitted drawings.

Depending on complexity and number of revisions we will bill typically $2-$4 per sqft. (sqft is based on contractors footage. This is all usable space. Finished or not. (Garages or unfinished basements for example would be included in this calculation.)

These permit drawings will allow us to get to the next level to develop costs and permits. Upon completion of the permit site this payment is due. Permits can take 1-6 weeks depending on the location permits are requested at. If building multiple of the same home please note that a permitting fee will be applied to each new address to properly put each home on each unique lot of land to acquire the permit.

While the final plans are being approved for permitting we will start the request for proposal (RFP) process quoting out to our local partners. Once the quotes are in, a cost estimate will be reviewed and approved. This will develop the project scope and costs. LUSH provides our customers with an open book policy showing all costs. L.U.S.H. charges a flat 15% GC for work completed. Providing a cost estimate takes roughly 2-4 weeks.

Production / Assembly of L.U.S.H. Kit

Upon approval to proceed with the project we will request a deposit for materials equal to 25% of costs. Upon receiving the deposit and signed contract, production of your L.U.S.H. kit will begin. It takes L.U.S.H. roughly 1-2 months currently to produce the parts for a home. The time frame depends on size, complexity, and backlog.

Upon assembly by the customer/general contractor of the L.U.S.H. Kit we will request a deposit for the last 25% of costs, no less than 30 days after completion of the framing. Framing of a home depending on the crew size of structure will take typically 1-2 weeks to assemble to the sheeting. (exterior walls, flooring, roofing)

Construction Timeline and Average Costs per SQFT

After review and signing of the building contract to have L.U.S.H. as the general contractor we will move forward with the agreed terms. Depending on several factors, the construction timeline can vary. However based on our current experience building a 2,000 sq ft home will take 6-10 months for homes L.U.S.H. is the general contractor on.

As we move through the building of your L.U.S.H. structure the cost to build a home turn key can vary dramatically based on several different factors. From alterations, finishes, location, weather, and unforeseen events. However below are the current ranges we are seeing on the projects we are in the process of building.

Cost to sheeting for a Home or Garage on a slab $40 per sq ft
Cost to sheeting for Home over a basement $50-60 per sq ft
Turn key finishes typically range from $200-$275 per sq ft
- (On your lot/land after impact fees. Calculations are based on the contractors measurement of square footage of a home. This is all usable space. Finished or not. For example garages or unfinished basements would be included in this calculation.)
Please note that change orders can drastically change the estimated time and quoted cost of the home and is an additional expense to the owner. Because of this we recommend sticking as close as possible to the permitted plan drawings once construction has started.
