Before having seen the $100 per sq foot number I would have said to budget $125 per foot. I have not built a house at Lake Martin so I may be too high given the local market. As was pointed out a lot depends on what you build and the quality of the house. Add granite everywhere, fancy trim, expensive HVAC/electrical/mechanical, etc. and it can add to the cost. Also, if you use a brick or stone exterior instead of board or tile roof instead of shingles it will add 5% to the cost. Lots of variables but if you build a very basic cottage with nothing fancy $100 per foot seems right to me. I define basic as being drywall, carpet, standard HVAC, etc.Add some expensive options and it could easily creep up to $125.
