building materials

[bob]

Just out of curiosity, what fraction of a home's cost do building materials typically represent?

Thank you.

There are always exceptions and I hate generalities.

That said, it does never cease to surprise me how often materials and labor split amazingly close to 50/50. ___________________________ Keep the whole world singing. . . . DanG

Depends on the style of home being built. As well as the overall design.

The extremely rough rule of thumb I've seen is about 1/3 materials and 2/3 labor. Doesn't mean it's right, just the numbers I've seen and which seem to come out in the ballpark on the small projects I've done.

Hi Bob,

A good rule of thumb for material percentage of a new home project is between 42-45%. This is typical and does not include decks. I hope this helps.
