Yes, I know materials are up a bit, but not enough to push pricing that high. An extra $20-30k in materials and isnt going to push an overall number that high.

Starting to research builders now to get a real feel for it to see if this makes sense.

Bensonwood has been mentioned a few times as a good prefab option. Is it me or is their stuff on the website really ugly? I am looking for a craftsman/adirondack look.

Understand your frustration. I also have a building lot in Meredith. Yes, material costs add to the budget. Building today is all about skilled labor and availability. Builders I spoke with are two to three years out. Pick and choosing their work. I spoke with one and was told they are scheduling nothing under 5k sq ft! With that said, we are waiting. Will it get cheaper. Don’t know
