Price to Build a House From the Ground Up?

I'm trying to budget a project for an investor on building a house from the ground up. The house is not located in the best area of Dallas and so I'm thinking of a brink front with wood siding and making it around 1500 sq ft. ARV has it around 240k with sq ft and it being a 3/2/2 and budgeting 90 dollars a sq ft to get the project done. Do you think that would be a fair price to budget for a new build in a "not so nice" area?

A "not so nice" area--what about a side by side duplex with a driveway and entry door on each side vs (an over under duplex or) SFH?

Have you guys thought about that?

Also in a duplex, If you put the entry doors on the sides in a "not so nice" area the residents "Unique Personalities" will be less likely to. shall we say "Clash".
