Items to Consider
  • Labor can run as much as 2-3 times material costs.
  • Ask with your contractor when payments are due.
  • If your comfortable, ask others in your neighborhood about their projects to get some idea about how much it may run.
  • Get quotes from different contractors.  Be cautious though experience may be more expensive but it can pay dividends in difficult or complex projects.
  • Not surprisingly, bigger projects will cost more.  A fireplace will be significantly more expensive than a fire pit as it requires the installer to comply with specific building codes and requires more prep work and labor.
  • Plan the project in phases to meet your budget.  This allows you to truly have an incredible outdoor space.  It allows you to work with same contractor and same products.  
  • Consider building  your outdoor space in a linear design, because they have less cutting and thus fewer materials making them cheaper than winding or circular or patterns.
  • If you’re planning on building your outdoor space in phases, make sure the installer knows, so the area is prepped for adding any needed utilities in the future.  This can help save money and labor for the next phase(s) of construction.
  • Leveling land can be expensive, so consider building into the slope..
  • Review financing options and speak to an Anderson’s Masonry Hearth and Home professional about options.

 Occasionally, it’s not possible to build your entire dream space at once. If you need to install your project in phases over a period years or months, discuss a phase plan with the installer that will make the most sense, both from a cost standpoint and with regard to your lifestyle.
 
Early on in the discussion with your contractor,  develop construction plans for future improvements, even if the project won't happen for a year or so. Plan ahead to install footings or run utility lines that will be needed later.
 
You can also consider financing options.   Speak to an Anderson’s Masonry Hearth and Home professional about financing options that may help you avoid having to build in phases.
