How much would it cost to build a house from scratch?

Question

land and all. like you buy the land and build a home.

Answer 1

Contact your local building constructor! :D

Answer 2

If you have decent building skills and you can get reasonably priced subcontractors to do good work on time, you should be able to build a standard home for around $80.00 per sq/ft +/- $15-20 depending on your market and the finishes you use.

The more depressed the housing market is in your area, the less expensive it should be.  

Just add your land costs on to that figure.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Depends on the size of the lot, what type of house you are building and the cost of living in the area.

Answer 6

Depends where you live, the area, the land costing, and the materials, the common houses like just wooden houses, it would cost maybe 300 thousand in colorado, 700 thousand in california, (Where I live, but am visiting a friend in CO) ect, just really depends on all. Look for a decent peace of land.
