Others make you pay for them - check out our free construction cost estimator below.
Step 2: Historical Data
Look at homes recently built and sold in your area 12 months. Plug the historical sales data into the following formula:
(Final Sales Price - Land Sales Price) / Total Square Feet = Cost/SF
Step 3: Ballpark Cost per Square Foot
Contact local builders and send them a link to the house plan that you want to get a ballpark cost for.
