A mid-range home renovation will typically be +/- $300 per sf with these allowances.
'Allowances' are budgeted dollar amounts set aside in the contract for customizable items that you will select during the build process. These are placeholders based on the builder's estimates for standard options. If you choose higher-end items, you'd pay the difference. If lower, you may get a credit.
