We’re at 4800 under beam, 4300 ac area.

I know our lumber package had a big jump, sheeteock, flooring, roof, etc. just higher across the board.

We’re aren’t breaking the bank in the kitchen or bathrooms either; both are relatively simple and the kids bathrooms are a reasonable size.

Are you, me?

We’re looking to build in Lakeview. Already own the lots free and clear. Hired an architect months ago and while discussing the design, we talked about the sqft price range he was seeing. He told us $175 a sqft. Finally got around to pricing it up using the contractor that was recommended came in at $225 a sqft. We designed a 4200 sqft under beam, 3200 sqft living house. Nothing fancy at all.
We will now be getting at least two more quotes.
If you don’t mind sharing, who’s the contractor you got a quote from?

How many freaking kids you have for 4300 sq ft?

How about you build a 3200 sq ft house for $750k?

Unless you have 6 kids my answer should do.
