New Home Construction FAQ for Des Moines Homeowners
What is Built Green certification?
Built Green is a residential green building program in Washington state. It certifies homes based on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, water conservation, sustainable materials, and site management. Love Construction builds to Built Green standards as our baseline.
How much does it cost to build a new home in Seattle?
New home construction in the Seattle area typically ranges from $350-$600+ per square foot depending on size, complexity, finishes, and performance level. A Built Green certified home is at the lower end; a fully certified Passive House home is at the higher end.
How long does it take to build a new home?
A typical custom home takes 10-16 months from permit to move-in. Seattle permitting can add 3-6 months before construction begins. Passive House construction may add 2-4 weeks for additional quality control.
Can I build Net Zero in Seattle?
Yes. Seattle’s mild climate and low heating loads make Net Zero very achievable. A Passive House building envelope reduces energy demand by 90%, and a modest solar array can cover the remaining energy needs.
