Pricing / ROI Overview

The Scottsdale luxury remodel market According to industry data, a remodel of high quality can pay off at a 50-70 + % at resale (depending on location and condition) of every dollar invested. Since ArDan Construction is a member of the NARI board, their pricing model is based on the best-practice cost benchmarks and value-based scope of work.

Example benchmark: To illustrate a case of remodeling a high-end bathroom in high-rise communities in Scottsdale (where ArDan has projects), unit-costs of the high-end bathroom remodel would start at $500-700 / sq ft, depending on the finishes, the current plumbing limitations and the complexity of the permit. This is called a Hidden-Gem insight (see below). By selecting a NARI-board-lead contractor, you are paying knowing that you are being overseen, kept updated and that your budget is transparent.

Hidden-Gem Insight

Existing plumbing shafts and multi-unit building rules in most Scottsdale luxury-market developments contribute 8 per cent–12 per cent to the price of a remodel of the home, as compared to a single-family house. Since ArDan team members are also on the NARI Greater Phoenix board, and discuss the local code and building-owner association issues there, they know these Scottsdale-specific surcharges and are able to budget them, saving you surprises and change orders.
