[QUOTE="nxtgeneration, post: 157174, member: 480"] I'm in the same boat, we are a couple years out from moving/building but want to explore our options early on so if we do decide to build we have plenty of time to plan. From the little looking I have done so far it is highly dependent on the contractors (i.e. small town guy vs city company). Had a coworker build a two story with an unfinished basement last year through a large contractor in GF. I believe it was around 2400 finished and 1200 unfinished (garage included in square footage). His budget was $400k and he went slightly over. Had a friend build in Devils Lake using a small town guy. He has 3600 finished plus a 30x40 attached garage. All floor heat in basement and garage, nice finishes and appliances. He's into in for $260k-$275k. He did get cheap electrical work though. Small town guys typically take longer because they have smaller crews usually but IMO a lot of them do better work than the bigger companies and they will usually allow you to do some yourself if you are able too. My plan is to find a floor plan that we like that we can use as a starting point and just meet with a few contractors to get their opinions. [/QUOTE]
