FAQ

We guide you from the spark of an idea to a full architectural plan, offering collaborative design sessions, 3D modeling, and clear feedback loops so you feel confident in every decision before a single wall is built.

With us, you're not juggling architects, builders, and subcontractors. We handle it all — saving you time, minimizing stress, and giving you a single point of accountability throughout your entire project.

Our team invests time in truly understanding how you live — from daily routines to aesthetic preferences — and we tailor every design element to match. You’ll never get a cookie-cutter outcome.

You’ll receive regular updates, on-site walkthroughs, and access to a dedicated project manager who ensures your vision is being executed down to the last detail.

This is one of the most common questions we hear, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. While cost per square foot is often used to estimate construction costs, it can be misleading because several factors impact the total price. Here’s what you need to know:

• Size: Smaller homes typically have a higher cost per square foot, while larger homes generally cost less per square foot.
• Material Selections & Features: High-end flooring, appliances, fixtures, and additional features like extra bathrooms or custom cabinetry will increase the price.
• Livable or Conditioned Space: Many estimates only include the livable or conditioned areas of the home. For example, a four-car garage might not be factored into the price per square foot, leading to comparisons that aren’t apples-to-apples.
• Location: Where you build significantly impacts costs. For instance, building in Valley County (McCall) is typically more expensive than in Boise due to location-specific factors.

At Abstract RD+B, we focus on giving you an accurate, transparent estimate tailored to your specific project. Instead of relying solely on cost per square foot, we’ll guide you through the budgeting process to ensure everything aligns with your vision and investment. Let’s create a home that’s truly yours!
