New Construction per Square Foot in BR

I understand and won't be jumping into it for the next several months at least until things settle down. I'm trying to get a general idea though.

Thanks.

Can't help you in BR but here in SE bama builders are charging anywhere from $110-$130 /psqft for a custom craftsmen style home.

I tore down in Old Goodwood and re-built. Completed in April of this year. Our finishes are fairly highend, and, minus the cost of the lot, we came out around $145 PP/sqf. That's wood throughout (less bedrooms), various grades of 3cm marble throughout, 11' ceilings, exposed brick, exposed beams, cabinets to ceiling, 2 fireplaces, 8' cedar fence...

Nick Cagley was our builder, can't recommend him enough.

ETA: that price did not include demo work, tree removal or site prep. When factoring that in we were at about $155 a sqf (less lot).

talked to a builder friend before storm, and 2000 sq ft custom was $140/sq ft. less if you wnet bigger. but as other stated... depends on finishes

Its all about the finishes

Absolutely.

I'm in town in Atlanta and tore my house to the foundation last year and rebuilt it. Went from a ~1k sq/ft to 2700 with pretty nice finishes - probably not high end, but we ended up around $135/140 sq/ft.

Could have easily been upwards of 200 if we really wanted to blow it out, but we did all hardwoods throughout, Thermador kitchen appliances, big marble island in the kitchen and quartz on the other countertops, U Line wine fridge, built ins in a couple rooms. Cabinets can be insanely expensive. We got non-custom in the kitchen(granted we have a lot of cabinets) and bathrooms they ended up being around $20k. We ended up having the carpenters do the built ins in the living room, office and master bath and saved a good bit of money and they look really good. They made our mantle for the fireplace too and ended up doing a damn good job.
