Many Contractors get tired of tire-kickers calling and asking for prices. It takes alot of time to do a proper bid and many people seem to think that it is shrewd to go around to many Contractors with a wad of cash looking for the hungriest Contractor who will jump the highest to grab the prize.
People who want to build a new home need to have their plans done and specifications complete, and research their Contractors before putting a job out for bid. Then the Contractors know they are for real.
By the way, the best way to price a house by the sq. ft. is by sq.ft. "under roof" plus sq.ft. of deck. i.e. sq.ft. of house plus garage plus lanai plus deck.... cost for semi-custom $125/sq.ft. not including utility hook-ups.
