This is for my math project. I need to know the average cost of building and insurance. If someone could tell me by tomorrow morning that would be great!

    You forgot some major factors, like location, how fast you want it built, what the contractor’s margin is

    Size is cheaper the larger you go and this will be a large house, probalby 3000 feet. It does vary in this country but generally builing costs in this market are about $1 a foot at the narrow end + Lot. Insurance is very regional. Figure an insurance premium at about .3%% of Fair Market Value or about $900 for this house. Much more if you are in hurricane alley, etc.
