"Everything else" is design fees, permits, contractor overhead, and contingency, combined into one figure - not broken out individually. National averages put that split at --.

Illustrative, not a quote. Based on national averages for residential construction, checked against both general industry sources and construction-lending guidance (sources: Xero, "Hard vs Soft Costs in Construction," and Built's construction budget guide).
