A properly designed allowance system sets a budget that’s realistic for the type of home being built. For example, the flooring allowances for Copper Builders homes are calculated using the cost of hardwood floors, not laminate or vinyl. Some builders will “low bid” a custom new home construction project by using allowances for mid-grade finishes, then adding upcharges when the client selects the high-end materials they expected.
At Copper Builders, we’ve spent years developing accurate allowances that meet luxury home standards, so there are no surprises. Our generous budgets allow most people to create stunning new construction homes without needing to spend more.
