One of the most common questions we get is “What is your price per square foot?” The honest answer is: it depends. However, transparency is key to our process.
As of 2025, custom home construction costs in Salt Lake and Utah Counties generally range from $250 to $450+ per square foot. This range is influenced by three main factors:
1. Finishes & Selections
Are you choosing LVP flooring or site-finished white oak? Quartz countertops or imported marble? Finishes can swing the budget by 30% or more. We help you value engineer these choices to get the look you want without breaking the bank.
2. Lot Conditions
Building on the flat bench of Draper is cheaper than building on a 30% slope in Park City. Retaining walls, rock excavation, and long utility runs add significant “site costs” that don’t add livable square footage but are necessary to build safe, lasting structures.
3. Design Complexity
A simple box shape with a gable roof is efficient to frame. A home with 12 corners, cantilevered decks, and complex rooflines requires more labor and structural engineering. We guide you through the design process to optimize for both aesthetics and buildability.
