What does it cost per square foot to build a new home?

March 21, 2023 by Cecil and Ray Homes

When considering a custom-built home, this may be your first question.

The cost per square foot to custom build a new home can vary widely depending on several factors, such as location, materials, complexity of design, and the level of finishes and customization.

In general, the cost per square foot for a custom home can range anywhere from $100 to $500 or more, with an average cost of around $200 to $300 per square foot. However, it’s important to note that these figures are just estimates, and the actual cost may vary significantly based on the specific details of the project.

Some other factors that can impact the cost of a custom home include the cost of land, local building codes and regulations, site preparation and excavation, foundation and framing, plumbing and electrical systems, roofing and exterior finishes, interior finishes and fixtures, and landscaping.

There are many different parameters that go into the selection of amenities that can vary greatly from one project to another. While our selection of professional artisans does not change from project to project, the scope of the work they perform can vary greatly depending on the customer’s desires. While one customer may be fine with $20,000 in whole house appliances, another may feel $60,000 in appliances is important to them. Natural stone floors, exotic natural stone countertops, outdoor living spaces, natural stone veneers, foundation wall heights, etc., can all make a significant difference in the overall cost based on the square footage of a home.

Some homes also build out less per square foot based simply on the overall design. For instance, boxes are cheaper to build than homes with lots of offsets that require more lineal footage of exterior walls.
