Indirect Costs or "soft costs" are expenditures for materials, supplies, and services other than the labor and materials that go directly into the house. Indirect costs include financing costs, administrative costs, construction loan interest, selling expenses, professional fees, etc. Indirect costs are often estimated as a percentage of the direct costs or selling price.
