Cost to build

[Sam Zawatsky]

Hello,

I have been interested in buying a vacant lot and building a duplex on it. I have never built anything before, and have only bought two single family homes that were built decades ago. I am hesitant to purchase land without knowing what I would expect to spend to build a 2200 sq ft. duplex, however. What kind of sq. ft prices could I expect for a simple build? I do not expect to get the best prices either, because I do not have many construction connections or ways of saving money yet. I would be getting a general contractor home builder to handle the construction. The area would be the Florida panhandle.

@Ryan Normand I agree, they were cheap to build! That price included everything you mentioned or could mention. I have a full time 9-5 and don't have time or energy to attend to any of it. I'm as "hands off" as you could be.
