[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 110279, member: 843"] I am hoping to learn some things from the people on here who have built their personal home or build homes/buildings for a living. We live in Bis-Man area and looking for a lot for a future home build. Lot size probably 1.5 - 3 acres in size. Finished Sq. Ft would probably be 3500-4000 with 3-4stall attached garage and detached shop. SO onto my core question. I am trying to compare lots as they come up but the lots in South Bismarck would require fill dirt and no basement. Obviously that dirt will add to the cost. Also I am assuming it will cost more money to get 3500 sqft finished above grade than it would to say build a 1800 sqft ranch with a finished basement (total finished around 3500 sqft). Your roofing a larger area, your siding a larger area, you still have to have a foundation below the frost line, etc ... Does anyone have a general rule as to estimate how much more money? Would a slab vs crawlspace make any difference? Im not a huge fan of a typical 2 story layout. Maybe a rec room above the garage with a kids bedroom or two on that second level would be ok if that offers some savings. I am just trying to compare that situation with some of the lots north of town or east of town that would require no added fill and no restrictions on basements. [/QUOTE]
