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.

alot depends on finishes,there are price differences between drywalled ceilings and drop ceilings.you can send 5k or 9k on a bathroom alone,10k sounds about right for a regular basement of that size.the advantage of the builder is you have them for warranty as opposed to a contractor you may never see again.good luck.

3 is very fair,2 wants to put 5k in his pocket for a few phone calls and visits and 1 probably has a Hummer in his garage. If this is in a project you could be your own contractor by talking to some of the trades people.If guys are on site sometimes they will work after hours or weekends to make some extra money at a decent rate.

Prices can very among all contractors, it depnds on what you want, and what the contractor provides.
Without proper drawings, specs, permits, its hard to comment on all the prices. I am doing my basement myself, and I doubt I will get it all done for under $5000, flooring alone (carpet) is around $2500... it don't take long to add up. 5 years ago we used to budget $40/ft2, but that number is up to $60 or more.
