Anyone build within the last year?

Looking at possibly building in 2024. Looking at building a modest 1800-2000 sq/ft house. Wondering what it cost you per square foot and if you did any work yourself? I know it’s not the best time with interest rates but may be the best time for me.

Just built in Livingston Parish. They handled everything except we cleared the land and had the dirt pad ready for them. Cost me $142 a sq/ft. I did go cheaper on some things like flooring but spent a lot on cabinets and bigger kitchen, walk in pantry. I didn’t think it was to bad of a price, we could have gotten it for around $130 if we stayed in our original budget. That’s also just the living. We only paid $115 sq/ft if you include the whole house.

A guy at work says he’s building for $130/sqft. I hope it’s true

My mother just built in the Central area, in an HOA neighborhood. She was just under $160 Sq ft for 2500 square feet. Solid wood floors, quartzite, big brick front porch. Exterior cladding 80% brick (old brick) with a few small areas of hardie (back porch mostly).
ETA: this was a fully custom home, drawn from scratch. Price per square foot included design.

We are planning to start within the next 3 or so months. I'd have to double check but I think it's around $180/sq ft. We are hiring a GC and not self contracting.

Who’s the contractor?

Any pictures of the house? Did you use plans off the internet or custom?
Does your $ include a driveway. I’m looking to start building by the end of the year as well.
Anyone shop metal vs shingle cost?
