New construction house advice

Im looking into trying to build a house on some family land. I know it’s a bad time based on interest rates and construction costs but I honestly don’t see it getting any better.

Current house is just too small and we see that our quality of neighbors is deteriorating due to most of the houses becoming rent houses.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m currently thinking we would need around 1,800-2,000 sq ft to be happy. Again, this is family land so this would be a forever home.

Any advice on reputable GC’s, types of houses, finishings, or otherwise would help me wrap my head around it a little more.
