Cost Per Square Foot for New Construction in Atlanta and Builder Suggestions

[Greg Wynn]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am considering building in Atlanta, and I need to figure out the cost per square foot to build a house. I am also wondering if anyone has suggestions for builders in the Fulton county area.

I am purchasing the lot separately, so I only need construction. I have had houses built in the past, and I know that things like the finishes that you select can influence the price per square foot, so I just need a general idea.

We are building mid-grade houses in-town for about $61-63/sf, but that is acting as our own GCs and with contractors who have been with us for a long time.

I don't know any local builders I can recommend (perhaps talk to @Aaron McGinnis), but I would expect to pay somewhere in the $80-120/sf for a typical mid-grade house if you hired it all out.
