PRICING & WARRANTY
Pricing, Warranty & How We Work
Itemized pricing that is locked after design, a 2-year cosmetic and 10-year structural warranty, and one accountable team from first sketch to final walkthrough.
How our pricing works
The number you approve is the number you build
We issue itemized pricing after the design phase. Once you approve it, the price is fixed, with no hidden fees. It starts with a free consultation and no obligation, moves into a design track, and only then reaches demolition.
Free consultation
A no-obligation planning conversation about your home, your goals, and a realistic budget before any commitment.
Design track
We design in 2D or 3D before any demolition. 3D rendering is available at $1 per square foot so you see the result before you build it.
Itemized, fixed price
You get a line-by-line price. Approve it and it is locked, so there are no surprise fees between design and handover.
This is the same fixed-price approach behind every engagement, from a home remodel to a ground-up custom home or an ADU or home addition.
Typical investment by project
What projects typically run
Every project is priced from its own itemized scope, but these ranges give Bay Area homeowners a realistic starting point for planning.
| Project type | Starting point / cost | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Focused Transformation (kitchen, bath, interior refresh + 3D) | from $50,000 | 3-6 months |
| Major Remodel & Addition (whole-house remodel, ADU, addition) | about $100 to $500 per sq ft (mid-range $200-$400) | 6-12 months |
| Custom Home (ground-up) | about $400 to $700+ per sq ft plus land | 12-24 months |
We take projects from $50,000 and up, and we hold a 10-20% contingency for the unknowns a remodel can reveal once walls are open.

How we work
One team, eight clear phases
From first sketch to final walkthrough, every project moves through the same coordinated sequence.
01 · 2D Design
Floor plans, space planning, and layouts that set the direction.

Realistic renderings so you see the finished space before you build it.
03 · Materials selection
Curated finishes, fixtures, and surfaces chosen and sourced with you.
04 · Pre-construction coordination
Scope review, scheduling, and site readiness before field work begins.
05 · Demolition and site prep
Selective demolition, home protection, and a controlled, clean site.
06 · Structural shell and framing
Foundation, framing, and core structural inspections come first.
07 · Plumbing, HVAC, and electrical
Systems roughed in room by room with inspection checkpoints.
08 · Finishes and turnover
Final finishes, a walkthrough, and handover of your completed home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & warranty, answered
Is a design-build firm more expensive?
Usually not. One team avoids the duplicated roles and the change orders that come from handoffs between a separate architect, designer, and builder. Our pricing is itemized and locked after design, so you are not paying for the gaps between three companies.
Will my remodel go over budget?
Your itemized price is locked once you approve it after design. We hold a 10 to 20 percent contingency for the unknowns that walls reveal, and one accountable team controls the scope, so there is no finger-pointing between trades when something needs a decision.
How does your pricing work?
It starts with a free consultation, then a design phase, then an itemized price you approve. Once you approve it, the price is fixed. There are no hidden fees - the number you approve is the number you build.
What warranty do you offer?
A 2-year cosmetic workmanship warranty and a 10-year structural warranty on foundation and framing. UniqHaus is a licensed, bonded, and insured California builder, CSLB #1158697.
What is the smallest project you take?
We take projects from $50,000 and up, from focused kitchen, bath, and interior transformations to whole-house remodels and custom homes.
