Good to here of someone else locally who had a good experience with this. I see it took a little while longer, but I'm in no rush.

I have a lot on HWY 308, heading towards Thibodaux, not far past Madewood Plantation. its one of the cleared out lots with all of the new houses going up.

What was your all in $ of your house, per SQ wise if you dont mind me asking? and how would you say your finishes are (standard or premium?). I may have to get in touch with you when i get closer to building.

Another question I had was does simplicity really translate to a lower cost house? For example, if a roof is not complicated, I know it will be faster to build and possibly less material, but does that translate into saving for me, or will the subs mostly suck that up in there pricing as profit for them?

That goes for other things like # of corners in exterior walls etc...

I was about 135/140 per square ft. I have a brother in law that is a finish carpenter and all the guys I used pretty much knew each other from doing other jobs. They pretty much tell each other what they are doing and don’t mind telling you who needs to come in and do their part so they can move along. I was just really there to make sure permits were done and inspections were taken care of when needed. If you my finishes are not premium but not standard either. When it gets closer, get in touch. Don’t mind letting you know who we used if it helps save you some money.
