Sounds like quite a few of you have done a custom build. Can you please drop location and ultimate price per square foot? Thank you 🙏🏽

$600k. Had a house on it falling apart that we tore down.

Central Valley in CA. $201/sq foot cost including 5 acres of land and everything.

It should. Our builder hasn’t ever raised the price after backcheck is complete for permits, and that was already done. We built in a generous contingency fund included in that $201 sq/ft to cover overages from the other contractors (well drilling, etc). The one thing that looks like it will cost extra that won’t come from our contingency fund is additional concrete work that we’d like done.
