Pricing Transparency Overview
Actual site work costs vary by property conditions and municipal requirements. Final pricing is determined after land evaluation.
| MSLP (Home Only) | Estimated Site Work Allowance | Estimated Turnkey Project |
|---|---|---|
| $179,348 | $95,000 | $274,348 |
This estimate includes the published Covenant MSLP plus a standard site work allowance for a typical New York lot. Final site costs are determined after land evaluation and engineering review. If actual site work costs are less than the allowance, the difference is credited back to you. If costs exceed the allowance, only the verified overage is added. Homes by Covenant charges site work at actual cost — there is no markup.
This approach ensures you pay only what the site work truly costs, offering a level of pricing transparency rarely found in residential construction.
