Built to Washington code
Plans are engineered for Washington's energy code and for the snow, wind and seismic loads of your site, and that work is priced before you commit.
What's different about building in Washington
- Sales tax on the contract
- Building on land you own, Washington retail sales tax applies to the full contract price. It is a line of its own in every budget.
- Energy code
- Washington's residential energy code calls for heat-pump heating and more insulation than Florida's. Our plans are adapted to it before permitting.
- Snow, frost and seismic loads
- Footings, framing and roofs are engineered for your site: snow and frost depth in Eastern Washington, higher seismic loads west of the Cascades.
- More homes per lot
- State law now lets most city lots have ADUs and, in larger cities, several homes. What fits your parcel is what our feasibility review checks.

Building in Washington: questions
How much does it cost to build a home in Washington?
Hivesta homes in Washington start at $215/sq ft for the house on a standard plan, before our fee (a percentage of construction cost, agreed upfront). Land, site work, utility connections, permit and impact fees, and Washington sales tax are extra, and every cost is set out phase by phase before you build.
Who is the contractor on a Washington build?
UrbanEdge LLC, DBA Hivesta Construction. Washington contractor registration #URBANL*766Q5. You can look the registration up on the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries website.
Is sales tax charged on a new home in Washington?
Yes. When we build on land you own, Washington retail sales tax applies to the full contract price at your location's rate (WAC 458-20-170). We show it as its own line in your budget so there are no surprises.
Can I add an ADU or build more than one home on my lot?
Often, yes. State law (HB 1337) lets most lots inside urban growth areas have up to two accessory dwelling units, and HB 1110 requires larger cities to allow several homes per residential lot (more near major transit stops). Your city's current code, lot size, utilities and recorded restrictions decide what fits; our feasibility report checks them for your parcel.
Can I use one of your Florida plans in Washington?
Yes. You can start from any Hivesta plan. Before it is permitted, the plan is adapted to Washington's building and energy codes (heat-pump heating, insulation, and the snow, wind and seismic loads for your site), and that work is priced upfront.
Do you build for investors in Washington?
Yes. We build homes to sell and to rent, including middle housing where the city allows it. Costs are set out upfront and controlled through each phase, so you can plan more than one exit: sell, rent, or refinance once the homes are leased.
