For our new place 3 years ago was getting quotes in around $20K.

After seeing a house a buddy had bought where the previous owners had just kicked over in excess of $20k for a crappy build, then all those Holmes on Homes shows, figured I'd do mine myself.

And a comment about the Home Warranty program, what a joke.

Thanks for the replies everyone & thanks for the offer toxic. Are you an Interior Designer?

Pazil - your $16/SqFt amount. That's just for materials I take it?

I think it's all coming down to options 1 or 2.

Still working on getting some plans.

It really depends on the extras. Basic framing and drywall won't be too much, but any cabinet work, upgraded fixtures or things like fireplaces will add up fast. You need to get the exact details from each developer on what that quote includes so you can be sure your comparing apples to apples.
