I have built many brick homes, granite, hardwood, porches, well, septic, etc, in other words, no corners cut, for $68 per ft under roof on your lot. My charge included. But I am in a different location/state
I am wondering what the average cost per square foot is to build (or have one built) a brick ranch house on a basement right now. I would really like to know what the materials cost alone and also what you could expect to pay to have it built.
Can anybody tell me those numbers?
Thank you,
Too many variables for this type of question.
Typical 2x4 outer walls or extra insulated 2x6 outer walls
8 foot ceilings or 10 foot or more ceilings, flat, vaulted, tray ceilings.
Trim package makes a huge difference as well.
Prefab tubs / showers etc. or custom tiled.
Prefab cabinets or custom built. Laminate tops, solid surface tops or granite?
Lighting package will break you if you aren't careful also.
Hardwoods throughout or carpet, or a mix of the two.
Spec your basement 10ft tall, you'll thank me later when you go to finish it out.
Roof pitch factors into the equation as well as number of gables, gambrell style roof etc.
Can you provide a little more detail as to what your looking for? Do you have a plan picked out already?
Needs to find a floor plan he likes, answer all your questions. Visit the flooring store, lighting store, Plumbing showroom, etc to see what he wants and costs.
Get it all down on paper then approach some builders for a price and then add at least 10%
If there is a wife involved add 20% and then 1/2 way through the project add another 10%. No joke.
Our house is 7 months old. Final cost was right at $81/sq ft. I'm in Madison County.
I see this as possible, but very tight, however, smaller homes go higher relative to larger. The reason is that they usually still have the same amount of appliances, cabinets, toilets, etc.Is this turn key ? and did you do any of the work yourself?
