not sure where you are but thats 146/sf which it would have to be a high end house for that and doesnt sound like it is. the savings on vinyl are offset by going metal roof.
but yea its high by about 40-50k based on your post.

For 256k, I can assure you I'm not getting vinyl siding.
Concrete driveway? Slab house? I can tell you also, that my allowances for my house right now were way low and I'm coming out of pocket on a few things. Everything has gone up. The labor just to install my granite is $1500 more that my actual stone.

It seem more like 350K to me.

Labor shortage and material costs escalating on an hourly basis right now are your two biggest issues. There is ample construction to go around to not make less than a 20% margin.

I got 4 bids on mine.
Two were very close, and two were way high.
If nothing else, it's interesting to see the various ways builders quote a build.
And gives you a little time with them to see which one you feel the most comfortable with.
Good luck, it's a deadgum process.

Is this real?
Are you in a rural area? Rural areas depending on the builder can be more expensive due to the GC and Subs not being close to the location and being able to piggy back jobs.
Also at only 1750 sq ft that's going to increase your cost per sq ft. Anything under around 2200 is going to be higher per sq ft generally again due to cost of labor not working out.
Painting a large living room doesn't take much more time than a small living room.
My FIL tried to get a small house built around 1100 sq ft and it was something like $180,000 for the cheapest bid of 3 bids. This was a camp, so they ended up basically going with a post frame building.

Dirt cheap IMO...
We are building a home in Broussard 2861... Our build bids were as follows:
669K, 575K and 550K
231-195 per sft.
