Short answer: In 2026, plan on roughly $900–$1,200/m² for basic construction, $1,200–$1,800/m² mid-
range, and $1,800–$3,000+/m² for luxury builds.
Why it matters: Almost every buyer starts here, and almost every buyer gets a number that’s
misleadingly simple. A single “cost per m²” figure hides how much finish level, design complexity, and
site conditions actually move the final price.
What to check:
● Which tier (basic / mid-range / luxury) matches the finishes you actually want, not just the
structure
● Whether the quote includes windows, kitchens, and baseline interior finish — or just the shell
● Whether pools, exterior living space, and premium glazing are priced separately
Bottom line: The real question isn’t “what’s the cost per m²” — it’s “what’s included at that price,”
because that’s where two identical-sounding quotes turn into very different homes.
