You can builder for 150/ ft with nice high end finishes. We built 4 houses and are building 4 more all in that range. Standard builder should stay within 5% of material costs to account for surges in prices. Give me a call if you have any question 850-583-4393

On 30a in blue mountain beach we are building homes for 155/ ft not including the lot. That gets you quartz countertops, metal roof, Hardie siding, impact windows, nuema doors ( 5 point locking system) Kdat trim around windows, hardie soffits and faccia, wood floors, white shaker cabinets (maple or oaks), tile showers, craftsman style trim crown modeling , 8 ft doors interior, concrete driveway.
2x4 used some high end home like to ut
Your probably referring to kdat. That is more expensive that a typical 2x4 as it is kilum dried and usually a better piece of wood with less knots.
Yes materials are more but 5x6 times is a little much. Window requirements is a big one. I believe main phases of watercolor require wood framed windows. You can’t utilize a vinyl. And a lot of the times windows designed in these homes are not your standards window sizes. $/ sq ft is not always the best number to go by. Smaller house will have a higher cost/ ft Typically due to less sq ft to spread avg labor costs over.
Be careful all, Daniel D Ryan may be John Carroll trying to sneak in again after multiple banning from this site.
What is the name of your company?
All
Be very careful on shopping a builder (or anything for that matter) by price alone.
Check references, talk to suppliers, ask realtors, walk their jobs and view finished products, ect.
After 20+ years of building it always amazes me when projects are awarded based on lowest bid.
Also be careful when entering into a 'cost plus' contract.
Make sure you have real world allowances and that everything is included in the bid.
There are a lot of horror stories out there

Lou,
These are all great suggestions when shopping for a builder. Question: You suggested talking to suppliers. What are some key things to ask/discuss with the builders' suppliers?
Sometimes I suspect it is simply Lou Deman, me, two sincerely curious and interested posters, and the 15 faces of John Carroll on this thread. Hello new guy
Hello,
I am considering a piece of land treetops subdivision on Seacrest beach and the Preserve at Grayton Beach. Looking for insight on quality builders and any info on the subdivision. Is this the best forum for these questions?
Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving.
