I recently built a house in Lafayette, LA with Gatte Construction, a local company. The total cost for a home around 1000 square feet came out to approximately $130,000. This figure included all expenses related to construction, such as materials, labor, permits, and any additional fees.

I would guess the labor costs in the south are a lot less.

They also have to deal a lot more with things like termite proofing than we do. I know Florida was CBC with insulated interior stud walls. But our higher labor costs go through the material supply chain and effect the on-site construction labor... so I think that labor may be the biggest factor. Another item can be efficiency of the yard and contractor. Contractor specific yards can be really efficient. |
