Cost of Construction

We feel the "Rough Cost" should represent a budget figure, once this is established then formal prints are competed and numerous sub trades will be quoting identical requirements for the same job, thus the process of selecting experience, quality workmanship and competitive rates. This is where it gets interesting, if you comfortable estimating construction costs then read on, otherwise please call Brian at (250) 808-1148 or email us mail@hartleyhomes.ca
