You do "ALL" the work (electric, plumbing, etc etc)
Answer
Here is a perfect "rough" calculator that you can use to calculate a ball-park cost:
http://www.building-cost.net/
You'll enter:
1. The number of corners the house will have.
2. The total living area square ft.
3. The quality classes of the materials used for the foundation, the exterior walls, the exterior finish, windows and doors, roofing/soffit/fascia, interior finish, flooring, bathrooms, kitchens, and plumbing. Each category can be rated 1 to 4 and there is a description of materials that fall into each class.
4. Is there an attic, balcony, basement, garage, or porch (finished/unfinished/etc).
5. Is it in a housing tract and in a metropolitan area.
6. Central heating/cooling.
7. Fireplaces.
8. What State it's to be built in.
9. What zip code will it be nearest to.
10. The result: Materials, Labor, Equipment, Total.
All in all it's a really neat calculator.
For Minneapolis, MN, a 8 corner house, 1858 square feet using class 2 (good) materials, with an unfinished 929 square foot basement and a 600 square foot unfinished garage, built within the metro area, with central forced air heat and cooling, and no fireplaces would be:
$84,696.00 materials
$10,684.00 insurance, permits, plans
--------------------
$95,380
A builder, on the other hand, would charge an additional $94,897.00 in labor and $27,255.00 in contractor markup for a total cost of $221,710.00
