Takes less than 3 minutes. No commitment required.
★★★★★ “On budget, on schedule, and thrilled with our ADU.” – Amanda P., Triangle, NC
Building a custom home is the biggest financial decision most people make. You deserve to know what you’re looking at before you sit down with anyone. That’s why we built this calculator, so you can get an honest ballpark based on your actual project: your size, your finishes, your location, your add-ons.
Enter your details at the end and we’ll send your estimate straight to your inbox.
Square footage, location, bedrooms, garage, finishes, add-ons. No commitments, just the details of your build.
Your personalized ballpark range gets built and delivered to your inbox, based on your specific answers rather than a generic average.
A CoCreations specialist will reach out to walk you through it and answer your questions. If the number works, we'll talk next steps. No pressure, no obligation.
Answer the questions below. We’ll build your personalized estimate and send it to your inbox.
Loading the calculator…
This is a ballpark estimate, not a quote.
The range we send is generated automatically from your answers and from averages across past CoCreations projects. It does not account for your specific lot, site conditions, plans, permits, material selections or current pricing, and it is not an offer or a commitment to build at that price. Every real project price requires a discovery call and a site review. Nothing on this page or in the email that follows forms a contract or a binding quote.
At most firms, your architect and your builder are two separate businesses with two separate agendas. At CoCreations, design and construction are the same team, which means your plans are built to your budget from the start.
We build custom homes across Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, and the broader Triangle. We know the permitting timelines, the soil conditions, the subcontractors, and the neighborhoods. That expertise shows up in every estimate and every build.
Cost overruns don’t come out of nowhere. They come from a process that wasn’t honest up front. We built this calculator because every homeowner deserves an honest starting point before the first conversation. That same transparency runs through every phase of your build.
From walking us through our vision for the project, to being very clear about choices and staying on budget, and importantly for us, sticking to the timeline! We are thrilled with our ADU renovation project and would definitely recommend CoCreations to anyone looking for a design-build firm.
From the very beginning, they were upfront and honest about the costs and were budget-mindful throughout the process. The results exceeded our expectations.
Ana, Nick, and the entire team at CoCreations are amazing to work with. They are truly gifted at what they do and have an eye for detail. They do an excellent job of explaining the process and expectations from start to finish.
No. It’s a personalized ballpark range built from the details you enter: square footage, location, finish level and add-ons. It isn’t a quote, an offer or a contract. Your real price comes after a discovery call and a site review, once we’ve seen your lot, plans and selections.
No. There’s no commitment and no obligation. Your estimate goes to your inbox, and a CoCreations specialist will reach out to walk you through it and answer any questions. If the number isn’t right for you, just let us know.
It’s a starting point based on cost data from past CoCreations projects in the Triangle. Your final number depends on site conditions, design selections and plan details, so treat it as a range to plan around, not a guaranteed price.
We build custom homes across the Triangle: Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Hillsborough, Carrboro, Morrisville, and surrounding communities. Not sure if your location qualifies? Reach out and we’ll tell you directly.
The estimate includes the home structure, your selected finishes, selected add-ons, and CoCreations’ design and build fee if you don’t already have plans. Land cost is noted separately if you don’t yet own a lot. Site work (grading, utilities) is flagged as a common additional variable.
From first consultation to move-in, most CoCreations custom homes take 14 to 20 months. That includes the design phase (3 to 5 months) and construction (10 to 15 months depending on size and complexity). We’ll walk through a project-specific timeline during your consultation.
