How much will a Whitehawk Home cost?
WHITEHAWK ICF has not published a universal price per square foot. A Whitehawk Home is planned as a premium custom home, and the first client projects have not yet established reliable WHITEHAWK ICF cost history. We would rather develop a realistic project budget during preconstruction than attract families with a starting price that excludes the systems they actually want.

What the cost will depend on
- The lot and what it costs to make it buildable
- Site work, grading, drainage, access, and utilities
- Size and the complexity of the floor plan
- Architecture and the level of detail in the design
- Roof geometry, which drives both structure and finish cost
- Soil conditions and the resulting foundation engineering
- Structural engineering and the reinforcement schedule
- Openings: window and door quantity, size, and specification
- Interior finish level, which varies more than any other category
- Mechanical systems and the HawkAir scope
- Water management and waterproofing strategy
- Optional HawkSuite features
- Market pricing for concrete, steel, labor, and materials
- Schedule and financing structure
Published per-square-foot figures in custom homebuilding are almost always incomparable. They may or may not include the lot, site work, design fees, permits, landscaping, pools, allowances, or contingency. Two identical numbers can describe completely different projects.
The honest approach is to talk about your actual budget early—before design—so the architecture is drawn to a number the project can be built for.
How to compare custom-home numbers honestly
- Ask what is included: lot, site work, design, permits, allowances, landscaping.
- Ask what allowance levels were assumed for finishes and fixtures.
- Ask what contingency is carried and who controls it.
- Ask how change orders are priced.
- Ask what the number excludes. That list is usually the most informative.
What we will not do
- Publish a starting price that assumes a scope no family would actually build.
- Imply that a Whitehawk Home is affordable for every household.
- Quote a cost premium percentage we have not verified on our own projects.
What this means for your family
You deserve a budget that reflects your home, not a headline number that will be revised upward three times. That conversation happens early, and it is candid.
