Is this Project cost estimate accurate?

This is a planning estimate based on typical Upstate SC project costs, size, and the tier you select — actual pricing depends on your site conditions and finish selections. Every Burch Contracting quote includes a transparent 20% overhead and profit, the same formula used sitewide, with no hidden markup.

What would push my project project to the high end of this range?

Site access, structural complexity, premium materials, and custom features push a project toward the high end of the range shown above; a straightforward scope in standard materials lands toward the low end. Scott confirms exactly where your project falls during a free consultation.
