I understand your guesiton. My point was one tile is far superior to the other (you probably already know Mexican tile is far inferior to Italian tile and is what you find in lesser construction), My personal experience was on prices of obtaining a superior product for a lesser cost. I will only say both sources are major business and in the phone books. I would once again be accused of being a hypocirte if I started naming specific establishments.

So, you can not compare cost per sq. ft. as an average without more specifics. There are reason why cost per sq. ft. will vary and it not just flooring cost.

If you are building your on personal home, you need to check around and be aware. The major quailty builders as in the Ridge are very familiar with what is higher quality and what is of lesser high grade. I think they have their sources. I am sure most of the high quality products are not available at a reasonable price in the local area or establishments due to demand. They just do not currently handle enough of higher grade building supplies to provide a cost reduction in their orders. It does not mean they are less than reputable.

You will not find vinyl or aluminum siding in the Ridge, since they use Hardi Plank which will cost about 15 to 20% more in price. This is a gustimate on my part and could be wrong. (Disclaimer)

To further emphasise my point, there has to be a higher sq. ft. cost for 12 ft. ceiling than 8 ft. ceilings and the other things I mentioned like amount of decking.

I have no special connections.

I am using a local family owned builder.

You are right OSMS about where the cost start to really occur, but in my case it was bid up front. There are a lot of improvement that you may select as progress occurs but are not mandatory. Then there are thing like lot improvements and landscaping that are not always recognized by the owner up front. They will cost you one way or the other.
