Cost to Build a House in Phoenix Arizona

Spanish style home plans imitate traditional homes found in Spain. Some of the features that are found in a Spanish home are stucco exterior siding, and low-pitched barrel tiled roofs. This particular design also includes arched windows and raised entryways and most homes feature a courtyard. These homes are normally luxurious and are well appointed homes.

To estimate cost, I'll use my resource #5 , “Building Costs by City & State”, on "Getting Started" on www.byoh.com., using “average" quality,no basement.



Using this "shape" on the "cost to build" calculator for the Phoenix AZ area, I came up with $147,853 for an owner/builder. That’s an approximate cost of $81.41 per sq. ft.

I determined this amount by deducting the General Contractor’s Markup, equipment rental, and allowed only $2,000 for insurance.

You should keep in mind that the cost to build for this example, or any house plan, can vary considerably depending on the quality of materials selected, and on actual bids for labor and material.

The estimate for this house is an approximate one based on “average” quality materials and no basement.

Until you actually start getting bids and entering them into your own spreadsheet (see my spreadsheet page for FREE spreadsheets), it will remain approximate.
