After living in the city, on a busy street for 17 years, and haveing to back my boat across 3 lanes of traffic we have the itch to possibly build!
We are looking at a lot out in the country that will need a well but already has the septic system installed. We can afford the lot no problem. What I am looking for is a way to ballpark what it would cost to build. Is there anybody out there who builds that can give me some sort of formula (I am thinking along the lines of so many $ per square foot on average)so I have some sort of an idea of what to expect? I understand that cost can vary widely with different ammenities and type and quality of materials and things like flooring and cabinets so what I want is an average… a starting point. the lot we are looking at is in the town of Shelby (near La Crosse) and is slightly slopped. We are looking at a walk out ranch type of design. The only things we know we want for sure are a wood buring fire place and a master bathroom.
Anybody out there have any idea of what I am looking at?
Thanks in advance!
