I've been researching cost and it really seems to depend on type of house and how fancy.
I am hoping to do mine for $70-80 sq/ft, priced out almost everything and that is a higher estimate. But it's a starter house, not fancy like all the pictures in this thread, no garage etc. And not hiring to many trades, just the basic few like framing, electrician, plumber, heating rest will be me.
But then again, my dad is building right now and the end cost is only going to be about $120, and that's for a 4000 sq/ft walkout with a lot of fancy stuff.
All depends on how much you do yourself. Contracting it yourself will save you probably 20% alone.

allow me to quote this one "who the phuck brought the mud in my house!?!?!"
that's hilarious......... Very interesting footing and foundation layout. Do you have quick blueprints you can post on here? Would like to see what it's supposed to look like. No garage?
