How location dependent are these construction costs? I heard from a friend today that he is having a builder constructing him a 4000 sq ft 6-bedroom 3-car garage home with finished basement for $350K including land price at a desiable Atlanta suburb. Assuming a lnd price of $50K, that puts construction cost including markup at $300K. This seems considerably cheaper compared to the construction cost estimates for NJ posted here. Am I missing something?

Figure $100 a square foot cost to build a new home, on average.
This is not counting the land or utilities or clearing the trees.
350 to 400k for your home to be built. If you are going to build it yourself, that would be a good estimate. A builder would have to add a profit and financing costs onto that figure.

I don't want to guess at the price as it seems as if there are too many variables. I can put you in touch w/a licensed architect and or builder if you like!
