Just built a 12x20 hale for about $7000 dried in. Finish work, plumbing, bath, kitchen, and enough solar to run water and lights about another $3000. Framing done to code, except being on post and pier.
1. A year ago it would have cost $3000 less, wood prices are insane right now.
2. This assumes you can do all the work yourself.
3. Interior is exposed (but painted) studs, painted floors and rugs, screen and shutters but no premade glazed windows.
4. You could still shave off a few thousand by not building to code, but I didn't want to worry about the elderly occupant the next time a hurricane blows by.
I suspect that prefab studio home will cost more than triple the price. But a lot less blood, sweat, and tears.
