cost per square foot to build a house in houston
well if you are looking for the cost to build, a lot of high end custom builders are building for $100-120/sq ft in the houston area. now if your looking to buy from a custom builder you are looking more at the $180-220/sq ft. as someone else said location is a huge factor.n a high end home I would expect not to find standard hardware store stuff, but I'm not talking about gilded faucets, either. I don't know if total square footage makes a difference on cost per sq. foot, but we'd bee looking at 4,000 to 5,000 sq ft with 5 bedrooms.
