how much $$??
 

I'm in the process of building a house in Delcambre (30 min south of Lafayette) and I'm paying right at $86/sq ft.

All the quotes I am getting is between 110-125 sq ft.

120-130+ around here finished off nice (including lot)

thats a broad question. depends on a lot of factors, especially finish and trim items

I already own the lot. Not sure how much that would reduce the per sq.

The price I'm giving you is for the house only, I already paid the lot. 1566 sq ft, 3 BR, 2 BA w/ an office. Exterior is siding with ar****ectural shingles. Tile, laminate and carpet on the floors. 9 ft ceilings throughout the house w/ cathedral ceiling in the living room. House is on a slab so that reduces the cost a little bit, it also doesn't have a carport, just a parking slab that I'll be putting a metal cover over.

probably to around 100 then according to some of the quotes I got when shopping around. that included brick/hardiplank exterior, garage, laminate/carpet or scored concrete, granite counters, fireplace, crown, stainless appliances, etc...

just for reference, here are a couple popular designers here

Thanks. The 3rd house under exterior photos from Murphy is almost identical to our house.

I'm building too........I'm right at $88 sq ft. There's alot of people around BR that's paying around $100 sq ft.

Just from the outside is one of the reasons for being at $100 or more.......several different roof lines......that's alot of work.

around oakdale its 70 -80 a square ft......im starting my dirt work on mine. im gonna contract myself and hope to be around 50-60...... just wanted to tell yall also if you look you can save alot of money on sinks fixtures and stuff like this online on like overstock.com......

Just built a house in ponchatoula and paid in the $70 sq ft range

Same if you buy them yourself in stead of thru a contractor.
If you are contracting it yourself, talk with the local lumber yards and you can work out a deal with them on everything. No so with the national branded lumber yards.

your right ray local lumber yard here is saying me a ton on the black in

I'm in Madisonville. Did you contract yourself or hire a GC?

Had a gc

Only thing is right now the gc i used isn't building anymore. He is working on subdivisions and has his hands full with a big BP build
