9 ft vs 10 ft ceilings in new home build

What’s the difference in cost per sq foot in 9ft ceilings vs 10 ft ceilings
I understand 10 ft may look better but how much more expensive is it than a 9 ft ceiling?

Little to no difference
More to cool over the long run

The four or so times the height of my ceilings came up, the response was, “they’re only 9ft? I would’ve sworn they were ten.”

It is usually not as negligible as people are suggesting. Normally it means bigger windows, taller cabinets and maybe larger trim. It also adds to siding/masonry, sheathing, insulation, painting etc etc. I would not be surprised if the average upgrade when total cost is considered is $10-15 a square.

As a tall person, taller ceilings were an absolute requirement for any home we considered buying.

Though I can’t speak to cost, you are aware you are not limited to one or the other.
My 30 year old house has 10 ft ceilings in living room, foyer dining room and breakfast nook, and 9 ft ceilings in the remainder of the house. Comparing the dining room with 10 fit ceilings with a bedroom of comparable size (square feet) with 9 ft ceilings, the dining room does look larger, though it’s not.

If not more. Realistically you are adding 11% more space to your walls on your interior, exterior, and inside the walls. So it’s probably not fair to say it would add 11% per sq ft but 5-10% easily. A lot of work is quoted by the square ft of space, like painting and drywall and carpentry as said.
It definitely helps rooms and spaces look bigger though. Extremely helpful in smaller sq ft situations. I think it’s well worth it if you can afford it.

it will impact your HVAC needs.

Very little. Boards don't come in 9' lengths... they come in 8s, 10s, and 12s... etc. Also sheetrock comes 4 foot wide so 2 1/2 sheets to get to 10 feet. Doubt the difference is much at all after you factor in board waste, etc..
