[quote=”sprite”]There are so many variables in a house design that I suspect only an honest professional builder could come up with a ball park estimate only after seeing detailed plans. I have read in various places that even when one has a quote from a builder to always set aside an additional 5 to 20 percent for cost over runs. My sense of it all is that one can build a simple North American style CBS house for between $65 and $85 per square foot. I suppose that figure will only go north as time goes by and the dollar loses more of its value.[/quote]
Based on a number of people who have built already,your comments are right on. We live here and have had various medium sized projects built—and the 20 percent over budget was more or less right on every time! Thank you.
