The estimated approximate Cost to build this home in Syracuse, New York as per the Craftsman Building Cost Calculator is $330,287 (including a General Contractor’s markup of $37,707), or $138 per sq. ft.
Note: Land and possible related fees (if any) are NOT included in the cost to build. Read more on fees on my Checklist for buying land on How to Buy Land and Build a House.
I came up with this cost to build estimate by using the cost estimating software from Craftsman Book Co. You can use the same estimating software to update this cost to build estimate to see if this 2018 cost has changed. You can also experiment with different building quality inputs that affect the cost to build.
Additional NOTE: For additional inexpensive living space, you can finish a “below grade” basement attractively by using ScapeWEL window wells.
