When budgeting for a new home, it's important to understand what the cost of building a house includes.

One common area of confusion is whether appliances are part of the base construction cost.

The answer is not a simple yes or no, as it depends on the specific project and builder.

In general, the cost of building a house does not automatically include major appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, and washing machines.

These are typically considered "fixtures" and are not factored into the base construction price quoted by builders. - https://smartgadgethomes.com/blog/does-cost-building-house-include-appliances/?unique_id_pasftyjf
