Your question is difficult to answer. The cost per square foot for materials depends a great deal on your material choices, the local building market, regional costs, fluctuating costs of some basic materials (copper, wood, etc), local building codes (for example if you`re in a hurricane or earthquake prone area there are additional constructional elements that must be built into the home). To get a good idea on the general cost to build a home in your area call your local Home Builders Association (should be in the phone book) or a trusted Real Estate Agent. They should be able to give you at least a basic idea on what sort of cost per square foot you might expect for new home construction. Best of luck and enjoy the home building process.
