Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone could help me in coming up with a figure that it would cost me per square footage to build my own house. I have some plans that I am looking at that are approx. 1,580sq ft. this does not include a basement however I would like to include that in the plans. Do anyone know what the average square footage to build a house (going through a contractor in western PA). I have done some research and it looks like the figure I found was approx. $107 per square foot. I would like to see how much it would cost me if I did most of the work my self. I would probably hire someone to put in the foundation, put up the shell and maybe some minor work here and there. My father built his own house and can help me with a lot of the work (ex: drywall, electrical and so on). Does anyone know where I can find information on this? I want to see if I can afford this house I want to build. I am not including land right now in this calculation because this is something I want to have paid off before I build. Thank you for any assistance you can provide me.
