How much does it cost to hire a home builder?

• <div>On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-house.htm">cost of a home builder</a> is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more.

How do I make sure I hire a reliable home builder?

• <div>Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:<ul><li>How long do you expect the process to take?</li><li>Are you fully licensed and insured?</li><li>How much of the work will you subcontract?</li><li>Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?</li><li>How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?</li><li>How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?</li><li>How much experience do you have?</li></ul></div>

Are there any jobs a handyperson can’t complete?

Q: Do architects build houses?

• <div>Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hire-a-general-contractor.htm">general contractor</a> or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.</div>

Q: What is the most affordable house to build per square foot?

• <div>Ranch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-colonial-style-house.htm">colonial-style homes</a> are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average. </div>

Home was prebuilt in a newer neighborhood. Quality was OK, but not completely "high end". We purchased the home just prior to the downturn in the economy and liked the neighborhood. No major defects or issues and we have been in the home for 5 years. Would build again with this company.

Though I could be wrong, I'm fairly sure that two things in my house were big reasons why a lot of people didn't buy it before I did - one of the old bathrooms was so small that it was functionally a half bath even though it counted as a full bath and the kitchen was a flat depressing gray color...
