The build cost is separate from the land cost but remember it all depends on location for the assessed value which is what your ability to finance would be based on. I can tell you from experience 120.00 for a build cost in this market will not cut it at all. Remember this includes everything from excavation and land clearing to foundation to window and siding to flooring to appliances to plumbing fixtures HVAC and on and on.

I have built a few homes and I have been in the construction industry for years this is based on experience and the current market
