To estimate cost, I'll use my resource #5 , “Building Costs by City & State”, on "Getting Started" on http://byoh.com/., using “average" quality, and a Slab foundation.


Since there is no intricate roof framing, I am using the 6 corner template for the calculator.

Using this "shape" on the "cost to build" calculator for the Santa Fe, NEW MEXICO area, I came up with $127,438 for an owner/builder. That’s an approximate cost of $80.50 per sq. ft.

I determined this amount by deducting the General Contractor’s Markup and I 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 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.

If you have a particular home plan and/or city you would like to see on this feature, let me know.
