    I am planning to build a home with the cost+ model and am in the process of getting estimates with several builders. What I see is an average of 17-19% commission for the builder on top of the cost. Is this a good price for Raleigh area in North Carolina?

    Find out who is build the type of home you want. Price range sold and areas. Ask if you can look at thier finished work. Look what they have in progree. You could even visit Local Banks & Credit Unions. They could also steer you in some good direction. Looking at estimated cost is good but sometimes the workmanship is worth the extra over save a few hundred. Also be warned of those trak building groups.

    Congrats for that, actually I was thinking something else. Its a bit more
    but if 17%-19% is enough for your consolation, then keep it up. Share here when completed. regards :)
