I'm building a acreage right now last time I built was 2015 and honestly some prices haven't went up that much. Lumber is fairly high and windows and overhead doors insane but overall cost isn't that bad. I'm building a 1850 sq/ft walkout bungalow with triple garage and it'll cost me about $200 sq/ft fairly nice finishing 10'/12' ceilings, 8' doors, granite, etc. However i'm saving about $75 sq/ft in what i'm doing myself. Unfinished basement. Basement to finish is about $75k if paying for everything or 50 sq/ft.
Personally I hate hardy, and would go with stucco instead. Stucco prices only low $40k total, not over and above cost of vinyl siding. Only thing i'm going kinda cheap on is sticking with vinyl and not stucco.
He is hosing you badly and not being honest about it only being a 15% margin, probably adding like 20% to finance the job too and a bunch of other BS that he doesn't consider margin, granted interest rates are high it shouldn't be anywhere near that, I would be suprised if the cost is more then 300 sq/ft. Vinyl plank for example is SO cheap. Way cheaper then hardwood.
