Building small home after tear down

[Mike Flora]

Have a property under contract that most likely will be a rip down and rebuild. From my knowledge I believe I can take it down to one wall standing and rebuild from that starting point and it's still considered a remodel. Looking to build a 3/2 apx 1200SQFT, in a lower quality area, so basic materials and a shake shingle roof with an attached garage. We would put this property on a slab since it's raised foundation. Yes I know a lot more information needed for a more exact price but BALLPARK PRICE FOR THIS PROJECT PLEASE FROM AN EXPERIENCED BUILDER/CONTRACTOR for this job. This is in Southern California in San Bernardino area.

You could go to a book store and find an RS Means to find a local new build price. Around here I've heard it's a range from $100 /sf for super basic affordable housing done as a batch of projects, to $200 /sf for more typical custom. I'm up in Minneapolis. Up here quotes are coming in really high right now because everyone is busy.
