AGR Builders has a team of architects and engineers that work with us to design any project you may have — from additions to new home construction.

Working with one company that supplies the design, deals with the township, and builds your project matters. You’re dealing with one company, so you never get the architect blaming the builder and the builder blaming the architect. We have years of experience working with the same architects, as one team.

Design-Build Cost in Northern NJ

Design-build projects are priced as one complete project. Once the design is set, you get a single price for the whole job — no separate architect’s fee to juggle against a builder’s bid.

As a guide, home additions in Northern NJ typically run $200 to $400 per square foot, and most projects fall between $150,000 and $400,000 total. Larger projects like new home construction vary with size, finishes, and site conditions.

The design phase is quoted up front, before any build commitment. You know exactly what the drawings and engineering will cost before you decide to move forward with construction.

Because the builder prices the design as it develops, the numbers stay grounded in real construction costs — no drawings that look great on paper and come back with a bid you can’t afford.

Common Questions

Do I need to hire my own architect?

No. Our team includes architects and engineers who design your project as part of one design-build contract — from additions to new home construction.

Who handles permits and the township?

AGR does. We submit the drawings, deal with the township, and schedule inspections — it’s all part of the service.

What does the design phase cost?

It’s quoted up front, before any build commitment. The fee depends on the size and complexity of your project — you’ll know the number before you decide to move forward.

Can design-build be used for an addition?

Yes — additions are its main use. Most of our design-build projects are home additions that need architectural drawings and township approvals.

How is this different from hiring an architect, then a builder?

One contract, one team, no finger-pointing. Because the builder prices the design as it develops, you get real construction numbers at every step — no surprise bids when the drawings go out to contractors.
