Elbow Room Pricing
Base price, payment schedule,
& what's included
Our goal is to present you with the most inclusive price as possible. Our price is accurate up to the point where your property starts to differ.
Ask most builders for a price and you'll get the building. Plus, additional quotes for the plans, the permit set, permitting, the city fees, the trenching. Those come later, frequently one at a time.
We put them in the first number.

ADU & Studio: What's Not Included
Every backyard is different. Here's what can vary and who decides it. We price what we can at your site visit, and nothing gets added without your approval.
Your property. Steep slopes, rock, driveways, or a high water table can call for extra foundation work, trenching, or permitting. We assess this at your first site visit.
Your city. Some lots come with municipal requirements we find during permit review, like sidewalk fees, TAPS plans, environmental studies, or retro-permitting. HOAs occasionally add their own, such as a required breezeway.
Your utility company. Your electric and water providers decide what it takes to serve your property, and they bill you directly. This can include service design, infrastructure upgrades, temporary power, and connection fees. Panel upgrades, temporary poles, and additional meters are priced separately.
Your choices. Exterior materials like stone, cedar, or stucco. Decks and small sheds. Changes to doors, windows, or interior walls. New landscaping, fencing, and pathways are separate projects, though we always restore the construction area.
A/C, flooring, lighting, and paint are done. Your studio is complete. Once the keys are in your hand the warranty begins.
