Hi -

We are looking to build a home along 30 A. Wondering how the build price per square foot compares from Seaside, Watercolor and Seagrove area? I understand there is a "range" depending on finishes, etc, but does anyone know the range for each community?

Thank you!

Same clown that “built” that God awful house on 30a with the laughable faux parachute panel exterior covering the spray on insulation. Guy is a joke, a thief, and mentally unstable doesn’t even begin to describe him.
I couldn’t agree more. I have a lot more awful words to describe him but I won’t say those on here.

Any grade A home builder recommendations for new construction on private lot south of 30A? Getting sq.footage quotes ranging from $150 -$225/sq.ft. Excluding land...
Thoughts?


Good Morning,
I just came across this thread and since it’s several years old, I was curious to find out how your build went, who you used, etc. we just purchased a lot off of 393 and are having plans drawn currently. Next we need to find a builder. Would love any advise you can offer. Thanks much!

I’m looking to build a custom home on property I own in Inlet Beach north of 98, and am currently working with a local architect on plans. House isn’t in a flood zone, lot will need to be partially cleared and is relatively level, 800ish sq ft existing cottage will be a teardown. House will be on a monolithic slab, will be approx 3k sq ft on a single level, metal roof with a simple roofline (no bumpouts etc), L or J shape with screened pool/patio area. I don’t plan to start construction until late next year. Any estimates on what I should expect to pay per sq ft, so I can have my heart attack and recover before building starts?
For various reasons (Thanks husband‘s job for suddenly transferring us to a new state! Thanks COVID!) we haven’t even started our construction, and now that we’re ready, I hear that prices of wood, etc are skyrocketing. The home will be custom and around 3k sf heated and cooled plus a 720sf guest house, so I’m afraid to even ask what the sf costs for building are right now! although ... I’m asking ...

We have friends that are building. Around 2500 SF. Higher end finishes. Around $400 SF. It can be hard getting windows, appliances and other components.

Couple of questions:
Where
What kind of construction (stick frame, CMU walls, ICF, poured walls)
What level of finishes

jkmason is correct that materials are hard to come by right now as e are on the backside of the covid wave.
Just reach out if we can help we will or we can point you in the right direction

Inlet Beach, north of 98; stick or icf, need to educate myself more on icf tbh; mid to high level finishes. We have roughly 2.5 acres to build on.

Figure between $275 and $350 per sqft depending on finishes, $50k for a pool (if desired), site that big may require additional sitework costs (long underground runs, more landscaping, long driveway, ect)
This will get you a stick built house with cement board siding, metal roof, decent windows, mid to high finishes, hardwood floors, some wood walls, ect
Hope this helps

I am bumping this again, as 151 people looked at it but no one answered :sosad:
Maybe I can broaden my question. How much does it cost to build (price per square foot) in Walton county? Did you build a house? If so, how long ago? What did it cost? Thank you!

There are two ways to price your new home; the“cost-plus” method or the “stipulated sum” method. What’s the difference? The “cost-plus” approach is an educated guess and does not accurately reflect the actual cost to build your home. Homeowners often prefer the “stipulated sum” method, which reflects more accurately the actual costs. You will usually be given a “stipulated sum” price for the cost of building your new home. This is a total price; no surprise, hidden costs that you won’t know about ahead of time when possible.
