Greetings,

I know that the cost per square foot for building a house gets tossed
around way too much. I'm more interested in getting a general feel for
what it costs to build in my area.

I'm looking to build an average quality home around 2500 sq.ft. Can I
get away with building a house between $100-$125 per sq.ft? Of course
I'd be willing to cut corners on materials in order to meet that
budget.

Any figures, personal experiences, or general advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance!

There are several excellent building cost estimators online. DAGS.
