[quote=Anonymous]Construction costs are 1.5-2x a more traditional home. We’re in the same boat, so I’m interested in other viewpoints. DH is a home builder and for a colonial we’d budget about $150/SF for construction (at builders cost, not retail), for a contemporary, we’re budgeting around $250/SF and trying to manage to budget carefully to keep it that “low”. DH thinks it may swell to more like $325/SF We don’t do ANY contemporary homes, so part of the increased cost would be outsourcing more than usual. Just to be really clear though- we have actually BUILT colonials in the $2-2.8 range at $150-175 per SF, including the wolf range and hardie siding, shingles (not slate/faux slate), Andersen 400s, wired for speakers, theater room, etc. etc.[/quote]
