    Depends on where you live and what your building.

    In some areas you need a full foundation on others it may not be necessary

    Don’t need a garage? Then you save money just having an exposed asphalt driveway

    Cellar? Fireplace? Attic? Even a 1000 square foot home has a lot of variation in design and material requirements

    If anything I’d say it’s the labor that drives the price into the stratosphere. But even that varies county to county, even more so state to state.

      1000 ft₂ ≈ 93 m₂ for those concerned.

      I don’t think it’s the labour costs, but rather the enormous tariffs that landlords and estate agents demand.
