Determining Your Home Remodel Investment Range
Determining your investment range for home remodel projects depends on several factors, including the scope of the project, timeframe, materials chosen, finishes selected, contractors, and unforeseen conditions. Here at Sustainable Design Build, we strive to compile, streamline, and improve on the daunting task that is a home construction project. Fortunately, through our design-build process, we can manage and mitigate the common pitfalls while giving industry-leading construction services. Still, we understand that no home construction project is the same, and determining what your investment range and commitment are can be hard to nail down. Here’s a general guide to help you estimate your investment range.
The Rising Cost of Building a New Home in Denver
When considering building a new home in Denver, most people expect the largest expenses to come from land, labor, and materials. Yet, a fourth factor — development fees charged by local governments — has become a significant cost driver, pushing prices higher for new home construction. A recent study by the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver found that these fees account for more than 10% of the total cost of a single-family home (Svaldi, 2025).
Denver’s Rock Drill Redevelopment: A Vision for Preservation and Progress
Redevelopment in Denver continues to reshape neighborhoods while balancing preservation with innovation. A recent decision by the Denver City Council highlights this balance as the former Denver Rock Drill Manufacturing Co. site prepares for a $585 million transformation into a vibrant mixed-use development (Wenzler, 2025). For residents and design enthusiasts, projects like these illustrate how thoughtful planning, historic preservation, and modern design can coexist to strengthen community identity.
Rumors: Fall 2026 Paint Color Trend for Interior Design and Home Remodels
Color is more than a surface choice. It is one of the most impactful design elements in a home, capable of setting a mood, shaping a style, and reflecting the personality of those who live within. As trends evolve, homeowners often look to design professionals to interpret what is current and timeless. For those considering a remodel, addition, or custom home project, Sustainable Design Build (SDB) integrates these shifts in interior design to craft spaces that feel both elevated and deeply personal.
