New SFH Construction

[Willie Webb]

What is the cost to build a new SFH from the ground up. The ideal floor plan that I am looking for would be +3bed / +2bath, 2 car garage, maximum natural lighting, +1800 sq/ft. I am still debating at this point whether it would, or would not be beneficial to make it a pool home. Looking to get the ball rolling within the next 2 to 3 months. If you are a SME contractor in this field, maybe we could talk about floor plans if you already have designs drawn out.

@Troy Norwood- I like your thinking.... In fact, I'm attempting to do the same thing.... Build smaller and cheaper.... I bought a lot a few months ago down in Bonita Springs. I've been working with an architect to build a smaller, cheaper, home for around $70 sq. ft. The lot I purchased already has power, sewer, and water, so that's a plus, as some lots in the area are septic which impacts costs quite a bit. My house plans are simple and different that most other buildings in my area. Once I begin construction, I'll be blogging about it here on BP.
