Estimate vs. builder quote: what's the difference?
An estimate is a planning-level range based on general inputs such as location, size and finish level. A builder's quote (or bid) is a price for your specific plans and specifications, so it can only come from a builder who has seen them. Use the estimate to set expectations and decide whether your budget and plans line up, then ask builders for quotes on the same set of plans so you can compare them fairly.
Financing your build
If you need financing for a custom home, a construction loan can fund the build rather than a standard mortgage. If you want to understand your options, CustomHomeLenders.com can match you with construction-loan specialists, and its construction loan calculator shows how payments work during and after the build.
