Answer 1

Looks like somewhere around $80 to $100 per square foot average building cost not taking into account regional differences can be expected.  The last link seconds this estimate and talks about $80 to $130 a square foot for building cost.  For a 4,100 square foot house in North Carolina you would be looking at a cost around $328,000 on the low end, and more like $410,000 at $100 a square foot.

Answer 2

im not exactly sure but NC rox!!!!!!! wonderful weather and very very friendly people!!!

Answer 3

around 300,000 maybe. or less cuz your dad is the contractor. maybe more if you make it extra fancy. but have funn!!!

hope this helped(:

Answer 4

Depends on the materials that are being used, cost of the land, and the rates for labor that are being charged.  Generally speaking without land being factored in labor represents 1/3 of a construction cost and materials are 2/3.

Answer 5

Depends on the local labor rates, maybe $100 to $200 per square foot.  Ask your dad he's the GC.

Answer 6

I'm building my own 4100 sq./ft house in northern Maryland where I am sure it is a little more costly than NC.  My house has 4100sf of living space, plus a 1200 sf garage (3car) a 1000sf attic that is finished, and a 1600 sf basement that is not finished.  My house, a relatively fancy Victorian, is not as elegant as your house.  Your house has quite a few special features that will add to your cost compared to building a big square box of a house.  2 story rooms, 10 ft ceilings, brick front, and the awesome but expensive curved staircase (bet that's at least 20-30K) are out of the ordinary engineering and require a skilled crew to build or install.  I am sitting at $125/sf cost not including my property right now, and I am at the final finishing phase of installing sockets, lights, fixtures, etc.  My house has siding, not stone, which is also cheaper, and I havent begun the exterior decks, balconies, or finished the front porch.

My best advice is probably not a novel idea:  Hire subcontractors that build million dollar houses and are very picky in their quality of work.  Dont hire crews that build run-of-the mill 2500sf colonials.  Paying a little more for quality labor upfront is worth it.  Every contractor I had to replace cost me more total for him and the replacement than if I had just paid top dollar in the long run.  

Remember, building your own house will probably net you an additional 33% or so of equity in the house.  If you spent $30k more on quality labor, who cares if you equity is only 31%?

And, I think this house will cost you $600,000 to build in NC. (plus the land)

Answer 7

maybe $300,000

Answer 8

about $100-135 per square foot is a good price

4040 times $100 = $404,000
