Question: how much does it cost to build per square foot?
Answer: An estimate is just that: 'an estimate;' until a clearer picture of what is being built, by whom, and where, is finalized. Generally, we find the 'price per square foot' rate to be around: $160 - $200 per square foot to build a house your own (self build) $210 - $240 per square foot to hire a custom home builder.
