Project Scope Explorer

Tell us about your project and we’ll provide a preliminary cost range based on current market conditions across Snohomish and Island counties, as well as the greater Seattle area.

Whether this is your first custom home or your third, one question comes up every time: what’s it actually going to cost us? That’s why we at Lockie Homes built our Project Scope Explorer — to give you a preliminary cost range based on your project’s size, finish level, and site, so you can pressure-test your vision before you engage an architect, talk to a lender, or reach out to a builder. You don’t need plans to get started — and you don’t need to wait. Just a few questions, and we’ll give you a realistic number to work with.

Step 1 of 4

What size home are you envisioning?

Enter your approximate finished square footage, or use the slider to explore ranges.

sq ft
1,000 sq ft 12,000 sq ft
Step 2 of 4

What finish level are you envisioning?

This is the single biggest driver of construction cost. Choose what best describes your goals.

Good
Quality materials and finishes throughout. Built to last, built with care — without the cost premium of custom or specialty products.
$450 – $575 / sq ft
Premium
Elevated material selections — custom cabinetry, higher-end appliances, refined tile and millwork — that require more time and skilled labor to execute well.
$575 – $725 / sq ft
Luxury
Top-of-market materials, fully custom millwork, and specialty systems that are simply more expensive to source and more complex to build.
$725 – $900+ / sq ft
Step 3 of 4

How would you describe your site?

Site conditions significantly affect cost — terrain, access, and existing utilities all factor in.

Flat or gently sloped
Level or minor grade. Utilities already at the road. Straightforward access. Minimal site preparation needed.
Standard baseline
Moderate slope or clearing needed
Some grading, clearing, or excavation required. Utilities may require extension. Driveway or access work anticipated.
Typically adds 5–12% to base cost
Steep, wooded, waterfront, or complex
Significant slope, limited access, extensive clearing, well/septic, waterfront permitting, or other challenging conditions.
Typically adds 12–25% to base cost

Your Preliminary Estimate

Here’s your project range.

Based on what you’ve told us, here is a preliminary cost range for construction in the Snohomish County / greater Seattle market.

Estimated Construction Cost

Preliminary range · Does not include land, permits, design fees, or site-specific work
Your actual cost reflects your real selections — every material, every finish, every system. As a cost-plus builder, Lockie Homes doesn’t work from packages or preselected tiers. What you choose is what you pay for, with full transparency into how that number is built.

Actual costs depend on your specific site, architectural plans, permitting environment, material selections, and construction timing. The Feasibility and Construction Agreement (FCA) process is how a preliminary range becomes a reliable number.

The FCA process takes your specific site, design, and goals and turns this range into an accurate budget. We don’t charge for the initial conversation.
