We are building in Lafayette however so looking to get around $150 per Sqft by self contracting.
Is $150 sq ft a current price or almost finished construction?
I have a buddy that is about to start his home, self contracting, and he went from ~$150 to ~$175 per sq ft over the last 60 days. (He owns the lot, so that is just building material and labor)

We had a family friend who just finished his self contracted build in arnaudville and his exact words were 150 square foot can build a very nice house.
We are young but this will be our forever home. One thing we are doing is making the downstairs nice but the upstairs will have cheaper furnishes due to the kids rooms and having them grow up there.
We own the lot as well so the 150 is basically for the downstairs and the upstairs we’ve penciled in around 115.
We’ve got most of our subs lined out and want as few people to touch the house as possible.
So our contractor who does the foundation also frames the house. The contractor that does the sheet rock also paints it so there’s a vested interest not to do poor work.
