UNDERSTANDING PRICING FOR YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING PROJECT
Determining the Cost for Your Outdoor Living Area.
If you’re planning to create a new outdoor living area, grasping the costs involved is crucial. With countless price estimators and inconsistent ranges available online, it can be challenging to determine how much to allocate for your project. At Mustang Contractor LLC, we collaborate with you to comprehend not only your vision for the final outcome but also your financial parameters. When it comes to pricing an outdoor project, three key factors will influence the total out-of-pocket expense: size, materials, and site conditions.
Size
It's no wonder that size plays a significant role in pricing. Typically, the larger the project, the higher the cost. A key element influencing the project's size is your intended use; you need sufficient space for it to operate effectively and maintain the right flow, while also reducing any unnecessary areas if possible. Engaging in a conversation about functionality with your designer is a crucial first step toward creating a space that meets your size requirements.
Material
Choosing between wood or low-maintenance decking versus concrete or flagstone pavers will significantly affect both the cost and visual appeal of your new outdoor living area. For instance, premium, low-maintenance decking might be 50-100% pricier than standard pressure-treated wood. Additionally, some materials necessitate extra labor, which can influence your project's overall expenses, such as with exotic woods or stamped concrete. Engaging in a conversation about the advantages and disadvantages of various materials with us will assist you in assessing value effectively.
Site Conditions
The topography of a property significantly influences the complexity of achieving the desired outcome for a project. For example, working on a hillside demands more engineering expertise than a completely flat yard. Additionally, existing features on the property need to be taken into account. Is an existing deck being removed? Or will elements of an existing structure be incorporated into the new design? Factors such as the height of the deck, site accessibility, and your home’s exterior also affect the overall cost.
Pricing an outdoor living project can be daunting and intricate, but by considering the size, materials, and site conditions, you can arrive at an accurate estimate for your project. If you’re planning a new outdoor living endeavor, consult with your us to explore options that ensure the final result is a project you'll adore, at a price that meets your budget.
