Build a budget from prices you have. Blank items stay unpriced; they do not become a market estimate.

Tax not already included ($)Your chosen reserve (%)

Known costs are only part of the job

A quoted subtotal cannot cover work still marked unknown. Ask whether demolition, access, delivery, permits, repairs and cleanup are in each price. Enter zero only when you have confirmed no charge; use “Not needed” when a category does not apply.

A reserve is your choice

The reserve is money you choose to set aside, calculated on the known subtotal including additional tax. No percentage is recommended. Do not subtract an incentive, rebate or insurance payment until its eligibility and amount are confirmed separately.

New construction needs a complete scope

House size, finish, location, structure type, site conditions and soft costs can change what is included. A per-square-foot figure with different exclusions is not comparable. This worksheet neither supplies a house-building rate nor treats a barndominium as an interchangeable house price.
