Hey guys. I have recently been looking at my house plans and modifying them to fit my tastes when I got into a discussion with my brother-in-law about cost to build a house. He is in the proces (and has been for a while) of building his house where he is the GC and some of the Sub Contractors. So I don't know if his numbers are correct or not. I remember in the not too distant past that it could cost anywhere from $75-$95 per sqft to build a house. I know that construction materials have gone up quite a bit recently, but my brother-in-law claims it is probably closer to $100-$120 per sqft. I live in North Carolina, just in case any of you might know what a good figure is to use. I am also curious what it is or might be elsewhere. Are there any factors that go into that cost per sqft like size of the house, complex floor plan, etc.? I was just kind of blown away by his estimate. Please tell me he is high.

Thanks for your input.
