How much does construction cost per square foot?
It does vary greatly fro project to project. A reasonably high end single family home can cost from $200 to $250 per square foot for the living area and approximately, $120 to $200 for the non living areas. These numbers however, can be higher depending on design, land conditions, and customer choices. Construction costs are higher in hurricane zones, but a newly built house or a totally renovated house will give you much comfort when the next hurricane threatens.
