Question: what is the cost per square foot to build a custom home?
Answer: Spending an average of $100 to $200 per square foot means a 2,800-square-foot home costs $280,000 to $560,000 to build. Custom and luxury homes cost $200 to $500 per square foot. Labor makes up roughly 40% of the build cost, with permits, design fees and materials making up the rest.
