Is there a way to estimate the cost of building a house without a consultation with a contractor?

Question

Is there a site that can calculat the price per square foot in any given state? Obviously there will be other costs. Cabinatry, appliances, windows, tub and toilet, etc.

Answer 2

The answer is YES! I am giving you two links to work with, and the best thing is it is FREE! Pick your favorite home plan, plug in your zip code, and it will give you a cost to build (house only). Add about a $20,000 cushion to it for any unseen problems or price increases, customizations, etc. If you are subcontracting the house yourself, I would get at least 3-5 bids for each phase of construction. Check to see if your subs are insured. Good luck!

Answer 3

ANY BUILDING SUPPLY STORE THAT HAS CONTRACT
SUPPLY HAS SQUARE FOOTAGE ESTIMATES FOR ANY GIVEN AREA.

ALSO REALTY COMPANY CAN GIVE YOU SAME ESTIMATES...

SQ FOOTAGE FROM $50.00 SQ FOOT TO $500.00 SQ FOOT.... DEPENDING ON LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION AND OF COURSE DESIGN AND INTERIOR ECT..

GRAB SET OF BLUE PRINTS AND CHECK WITH A GEN BUILDING SUPPLY STORE LIKE LOWES OR HOME DEPOT OR BDC BUILDER SUPPLY OR GET A GOOD REALTY COMPANY TO RUN THEIR FIGURES (NEW DEVELOPMENTS ) OVER WITH YOU..

EACH AREA VARIES..
2 MILES MAY BE DIFFERENT....

BUT NORMALLY A COUNTY WILL BE FAIRLY EVEN ACROSS IN LOW -MIDDLE- HIGH RANGE...
