🍕Let's Talk Dough: The Ingredients of a Custom Build 🍕

Happy #NationalPizzaDay! While we usually talk bricks and mortar, today we’re talking dough (the kind you build with).

When planning your dream home budget in Georgia, most people look a total price tag and ask, "How much does this cost?"

At Reynard, we flip the script. We ask: "How much are you ready to invest to bring this vision to life?" This is outcomes based thinking.

The "Design With" Difference It’s not about guessing the price; it’s about Solving for X. We take your investment limit and reverse-engineer the design so the "ingredients" fit the budget before the oven—err, construction—even starts.

The Recipe (Your Budget Equation) Here is the literal formula we use to help clients understand where the money goes.

Whether you're planning to work with a General Contractor or build on your own, you can think of your Total Construction Budget (B) like the whole pie:

B=CML×(1+0.18)×S

Here is the breakdown: 🍅 The Ingredients (CML): The Cost of Materials & Labor. This is the bulk of your pie—the lumber, the brick, the windows, the crew. 👨‍🍳 The Chef (18%): (The Builder’s Fee). This ensures the ingredients are combined with expertise, safety, and architectural integrity. 📏 The Size (S): Your Heated Square Footage.

Why this matters: When you understand the formula, you stop fearing the cost and start controlling the outcome. You decide the size of the pie and the quality of the ingredients; we just make sure it’s cooked to perfection.
