My costs of $60-65/ft were held down lower because I served as general contractor, and did some of the work myself--all tile work, some painting, some trim. The shocker for me was the cost of building on a steep hill. Wouldn't trade the view for anything, but the Septic system costs $5,500 (70 verticle ft lift from tank to field lines), site work (road and basement grading) $7,000, and concrete drive $10,500.
Just talked to a guy still building that admits that bad subs have cost him at least $100,000 more than it should have. If you plan to sub out yourself--plan to be on the job everyday or else prepare to bend over.
Contractors in The Ridge are getting $200-300/sq ft for some homes--exclusive of the lot. Think I'm in the wrong business!
