Castleblock is my company. I depend on my clients for ultimate cost information. Most recently a client reported to me that his Castleblock home cost about the same as a stick built home. Just more bang for the buck.
Asking how much it costs to build a home is a bit like asking what does a car costs. Lots of variables. How fancy? Who is doing the work? Is the job carrying the burden of worker's comp and general overhead? Obviously an owner builder can achieve lower dollar costs by doing much of the work themselves. Some are better at this than others.
For my part I concentrate on a 'lockable weather tight shell' and stay away from finish details. I have watched a lot of people burn up a lot of cash at the alter of interior decorating. But the main focus for me is that this is your home and your money and it should be what you want. That is my goal. So I do most all of my estimating on custom or client provided designs.
Castleblock homes have superior engineering, are well insulated, termite proof, low maintenance and can be well constructed by first time owner builders.

Assume the best and ask questions.
