Tear Down & Rebuild Costs

[Jeff Haak]

I'm not sure this is the best forum for this, but I thought I'd give it a shot.  I am contemplating tearing down a home that is in pretty bad shape and rebuilding on the same land.  Costs can vary wildly, I know this.  I am looking for rough estimates on cost and the amount of time it takes to completely tear down a home, remove all of the debris, and then rebuild a 1600-1700 sqft. home.  This would be in the Rochester, NY region. Materials would not have to be the highest end materials, but also not the cheapest stuff out there either.

In my market, the tear down and haul off would typically run 8K to 15K.  The new construction would probably be between $90 and $120 per square foot.
