Cost to build house estimate
Being in the home building business (as far as I know, there aren’t any companies that build homes from blogging), I had to do a lot of research on what it costs to build a house. Luckily, due to my numerous failed attempts at building anything more complicated than a model volcano and a scale model of the Apollo mission command module, I was able to successfully accomplish this task and provide an accurate cost estimate for anyone out there who is thinking about building a new home but doesn’t want to invest the time and energy in digging themselves into debt.
Cost to build house estimate
Building a new home is an exciting process, but it can also be stressful. One of the biggest decisions you’ll make is how much to budget for construction costs.
The cost of building a home varies depending on the size, features and location. The average cost per square foot for a new single-family home in 2018 was $173 (not including land). However, there’s no standard price for all homes because costs vary significantly based on local labor rates, material prices and regional building codes.
To get an accurate estimate for building your dream home, start with these tips:
Check with local contractors about their costs. A good contractor will be able to provide you with an estimate based on his or her past experience and current material costs. They may be able to give you a range of prices based on different options within your budget or provide you with a detailed list of costs if they have built similar homes before.

Costs vary depending on where you live and how many bedrooms and bathrooms your home has, but here’s an average breakdown:
The cost of building the walls and roof of a typical two-bedroom, two-bathroom home is around $60 per square foot. This assumes builders use standard materials and don’t add any extras like swimming pools or fancy finishes. To figure out how much it will cost per square foot for your home, divide the total cost by the number of square feet in your finished house plan. For example, if you plan on building a 2,400-square-foot house for $250,000 with standard materials, then each square foot would cost $112.50.
