How Much Does Custom Renovation Cost?

There is no single price for a custom renovation because the investment depends on the home’s existing conditions, project scope, design complexity, permitting needs, materials, cabinetry, consultant coordination, and construction requirements. Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. evaluates these factors during the design process so homeowners can understand the decisions shaping their renovation budget before moving forward.

Major cost factors include the size and condition of the home, whether walls or layouts change, the extent of additions or alterations, architectural and interior design scope, permit procurement, custom cabinetry or built-ins, material selections, consultant services, and construction administration. Historical properties and projects requiring careful agency coordination may also involve additional design considerations.

Permit requirements vary by project and jurisdiction, particularly for additions, alterations, and residences in Historical Preservation Overlay Zones.
