Cost to Build Small Designer Home by Owner Builder

Not really true, I got a closet in a hallway. I added it to my floor plan specifically for that reason. When you are actually living and using the house you will find out that storage space as well as practicality of separating dirtier spaces from living spaces is important and makes life easier.
1500 sq ain’t big.

That's to high price for that size house .
I guess it depends on were u live

Hello, don't be tired. I am 23 years old, but I am not in America. I am very interested in majoring in real estate. How should I learn the materials and types of house styles?

Fishbowl

Bruh you got tile showers and quartz tops

Looks like one of those magazine house plans. I hope that they offer some serious insulation in the walls, conditioned attic space, upgraded windows and better quality HVAC.

You guys you pay this much to build a timber house in America??😂😂

Why did you not include the brick?

I'm I the only one who things siding looks ugly?

I really like this plan, however we also want a loft where we can have a large room and maybe a bathroom for kids to play and store toys. Is there a mod to add that? Or another plan that would offer that and be pretty similar?

Thanks! What is Brick at Grade?

My magic # is $80/sq ft. Houses in NE are going for $350/sq...dummies keep buying, and builders will keep building making a kings ransom.

Question, what if I want to do all the work my self except electrical, hvac, and plumbing. How much can I build this house for?

These houses are complete. Ripoffs. I can flip a house with $30,000 in materials. Me and my parents added a second story to a house, read it all the wiring. Read it all the plumbing. Added a bathroom, full bathroom upstairs. So on so forth and spent 30,000.

A good way to avoid massive expense is to not do central air. So on so forth and do a Fujitsu split system or something of the sort. It cost $3,000 to do the entire split system and we hired an AC professional. 1500 for the system and 1500 for the labor. One day. So on so forth. So, to sit here and say that a house that is 1500 ft² cost $250,000 to build by yourself is absolutely f**** insane.

Thanks for this amazing information !! If you don't find a means of multiplying money, you will wake up one day to realize that the money you thought you had, has finished. Investment is key, I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

It’s a nice house for sure. I’m surprised builders’ margins are that high, dang.

Thank you so much for informative videos. Would these prices include electric and sewer/water hook ups or is that an extra cost also?

I feel like starter homes are a dream. I work hard but 22/hr is the most I've ever made. My gf is similar and we are both in our 30s with our first child. It just seems like finding anything in Arizona in a nice neighborhood is a pipe dream. You used to be able to get a good home for 200k. Now so many homes that were affordable are 400k and up. Wish homes like the one featured were what is getting built but the new fad is to build tiny homes, with no yard, right next to each other that have the floor space of a small apartment. Maybe the looming recession will hopefully deflate prices.

Can we get more tiny house build videos 🙋🏾

I really like these vids. Keep it up man!

Why the builder margin dropped from 40% to 30% if lumber price dropped almost 60%?

I'm looking to build a multiplex in US at the moment. I'm from Europe. Please explain, why Americans call this beautiful designer house? In Europe for the last 10 years is popular modern barn houses with panoramic views, windows height 3-5 meters, from one side of the wall to another. Modern. And it costs to build around $100k. We have less wood, we import it outside because of green laws, but house still is so much cheaper that in US.

For $200k we have a decent 3 floor house from bricks with underground parking, not wood. Why USA is so different in it, why modern designer houses yet considered to be LUX, when it's cheap and popular in EUrope? I want to build an average modern house European style, when I show the design - people look at me like I'm crazy, its top1% over the top and all that. While in my country its normal, no one will say its special. Just beautiful yeah, thats it. I'm a little devastated to overpay for the quality, that in Europe we consider cheap and outdated. I don't know how to do it not being overpriced.

The wood is the same, but becs of looks of panoramic window (which costs in EU around $15,000) - people want to charge me thinking i'm rich or something and house price doubles.

Where are the mechanicals located?

Don't buy dr horton. They all have structural defects that cost you more than the house to fix.

1500 sq ft for $230k plus that isn't the cost of the property either? Nope.

42 percent margins. Wow.

architecture, engineering, permitting costing me more than that in Lake Tahoe

Ok wake up call NO ONE is building for less then 250 a sf, it’s more like 280 to 300 for the average well appointed home.

😂 more like 132 and the contractors are well

Glad I found you guys. We might be closing on some land. Have been meeting with and reviewing investigating builders.

Some of the lower cost ones seem very risky and maximizing profits. We’ve found some pricier ones that are more ‘legit’.

We do not have the skill set to be a general contractor. Do people hire a GC and if so how to find a good one?

Some middle ground. Appreciate the insights of folks much more knowledgeable and experienced than I…

I don't understand why houses are so expensive.
Or why they're still being built out of wood in 2023.

Can you do a video about post frame homes

Thank you

What’s the name of this house?

Nice video. Short and to the point. Seems expensive though. I seen other video thumbnails that popped up after this video ended with bigger homes and lower build costs. Just saying. Maybe they were older videos, when the prices were not as high(?).

Bs. How is it 240k to build it yourself

To buy a new construction house in this size you could pay around $400,000 -470,000
See how much gain percentage the builders earn and that IF they don’t cheat on the quality of materials! Be smart!
An advice from a real estate broker.

yeeee

wow, New Zealand subcontractors profit 3-8 percent per project

At first, this home seems to be a 'good deal', but it doesn't include the cost of land; which could add $100,000.
or more, to the total price! Secondly, it has no basement, which limits storage space or the ability to add a
playroom, extra bedroom, etc. Lastly, the "Great Room" effect seems impressive, but then one realizes that
there is nowhere else to go! Dirty dishes in the sink, an untidy table & unkempt living room makes it seem cramped!

I really like this one. Personally, id be looking for something a little bit of a step up and with a smaller emphasis on the 2 car garage taking up half of the broadside of the house. Definitely looks good for a first time homeowner or people with one or two kids. Prices are coming down!

I’m glad I found this video, answered so many of my questions

This house would cost 750k to build where i live. Prove me wrong

Too many windows for my liking, specially when the purge happens

Can't wait till next year when the big builders are crying they can't sell the huge inventory of overpriced homes they are building this year.

Does this included all subcontractor costs? Or only cost of materials?

What I don't get is this: The US is the third largest country. It has massive amount of space and tons of resources. Why are new houses so expensive? I am not talking about Manhattan or San Francisco. I am talking general. It cannot be just building material and labor? It makes little sense to me...

I am looking for a builder who can provide me a quote to build 2200 square feet house in north TX. Please help me if you know someone who can build similar design house. I have 1 acre lot.
