How to calculate Cost to Build a House in Less than 10 minutes?

The REAL cost to build a house isn't the price per square foot your builder quotes. That's the number that runs most first-time builders out of money halfway through the build. In this video, I show you how to find your real number - hard costs, soft costs, the lot, and the cash you actually need in your pocket - in under 10 minutes. Free template included.

Day 2 done. Builders bootcamp

Today we went deep.

Foundation to finishes - the full construction process step by step. Three experts in the room covering what most builders only learn the hard way:

πŸ— Foundation specialist - what goes wrong before you pour a single yard of concrete and how to avoid it

πŸ“¦ How to import building materials from abroad and cut costs significantly - a session nobody else teaches

πŸ›‘ Builder’s insurance - what you actually need, what it costs, and what happens if you skip it

πŸ’° The sales process - how to think about your exit from day one

Every single topic was real numbers, real projects, real decisions.

Tomorrow - Day 3 - we leave the classroom and go to three active construction sites across Austin. Foundation stage, finishing stage, fully finished house.

You don’t learn building from slides. You learn it by standing inside the real thing.

Day 1 of Builders Bootcamp - DoneπŸ—

Builders flew in from Houston, Dallas, Austin, Virginia, Louisiana, and Alaska to be in this room today.

We covered steps 1 through 6 of the full house building process - design, specifications, permitting, and finance. Real projects presented live - from $500K builds to $7M custom homes.

We had an expert in multi-unit and residential construction walk through his actual projects. A hard money and private lending specialist broke down exactly how builders fund deals that banks won’t touch.

This wasn’t theory. These were real numbers, real decisions, real people who’ve done it at scale.

Day 2 tomorrow - we leave the classroom and go to the job sites.

Building a house feels impossibly complicated - but it's really just 12 steps in one strict order, and this is the entire home building process explained in 10 minutes. Whether you're a first-time builder, an owner-builder, or a developer planning a custom home or a spec build, this is your full step-by-step roadmap: deciding what you're building, assembling your team, running the numbers, buying the land, design, permits, site prep, foundation, framing, mechanicals, finishes, and the final sale. I'll show you the two points of no return where first-time builders lose the most money, and the exact sequence the pros follow to build a house from scratch without the six-figure mistakes.

Everyone's saying 2026 is the worst time to build your house.
Tariffs are up. Costs are out of control. Just wait it out.
We've built 25 houses. I'm on 3 active job sites right now. Here's what nobody is telling you:

πŸ“ Local materials? Up 1-2%. Barely moved.
πŸ“ Labor? Down 10-20%.
πŸ“ Framing dropped from $8 to $6 per square foot
πŸ“ Stucco dropped from $9.75 to $6.75 per square foot

On a 2,500 sqft house - that's $5,000 saved on framing alone. Money you can put toward your kitchen, your flooring, or your lot.
I track every dollar on every build. I put together a real spreadsheet: 2025 vs 2026 costs, line by line. Concrete, framing, drywall, stucco, electrical - exactly where prices went up and where they dropped.
Contractors are calling ME now looking for work. No waiting lists. No 6-month delays like in 2022. If you've been sitting on your dream home - now is actually a good time to move.
Importing European windows? Yeah, tariffs hurt there.

Standard build with local suppliers? You're saving money in 2026.

Comment COST - I'll send you the free spreadsheet plus a 16-min video where I walk through every single line item using real numbers from my Austin builds happening right now.

Most builders will skip interior insulation and then panic after drywall when they hear everything through every wall.

$2,000 today or $15,000 in repairs later.

I built my system around thisβ€”every phase planned so nothing gets missed.

Wood, steel, or hybrid? Most builders choose wrong because they don't know the real costs upfront.

I break down all 3β€”timeline, budget, crew requirements, and when you actually need each one.
