New Construction Cost Guide for Cassique, SC

Cassique, Kiawah Island's private Tom Watson-designed golf community, is nearing build-out, with Upper Burn marketed as the final developer release of remaining homesites. Custom construction here comes with the design rigor and cost structure of one of the island's most exclusive addresses.

ARB Design Review Adds Time and Cost Before You Break Ground

Cassique's Architectural Review Board process runs through conceptual, preliminary, and final design stages, with roughly six months typically needed for approval before construction can start. Budget this timeline into your overall project schedule and carrying costs.

Tree Preservation Requirements Can Shape Your Site Plan

Oaks of significant diameter generally must be preserved, and work near large trees requires a certified arborist and ARB sign-off. A site plan built around existing tree canopy often costs less to approve, and to build, than one that fights it.

Premium Materials Are Required, Not Optional

Cassique's design guidelines call for roofing materials like wood shake, slate, copper, or standing-seam metal, and prohibit plywood siding outright. Budget your exterior materials package at the high end from the start rather than value-engineering it after ARB submission.
