Does anyone know about how much it costs to build one of those neat modern houses with alot of glass windows?

My husband and I live in Columbus, GA which is 1 hour and 45 minutes south of Atlanta, GA. We both absolutely love the new modern houses. We want one about 2000 square feet or so and with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. About how much would that cost and who could we go to, to help us design one and get our house construction under way?

1. well, there are a lot of variables... if you figure about $800-$1,000 per square foot, this would give you a decent quality level... I'm basing this on California information, you may be able to do this for about $500 per square foot or less depending on what level you want to go to. makd sure you go with a reputable contractor... keep in mind you're also paying for service, so it may be wise to go with the one you feel comfy with, not just the lowest bid.
2. New construction anywhere in Middle GA will run between $190 and $310 per square foot. Given the complexities of the type of structure you have in mind, plan on closer to the high end. A custom architectural building plan for a 2000 sq foot home can run from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars and higher, depending on your personal preferences. There are many companies in Atlanta and middle GA that can design and / or build the type of house you want, and there may be existing homes that fit your needs as well. If you build, you will also have to find a lot suitable for, and that will permit the construction of, this type of home. There are some companies, like IKEA, that offer this type of modern home for sale prefabricated- it is delivered in large compartments and must be assembled by skilled laborers. This is usually cheaper than designing and building from scratch, but you have no ability to influence the design. I am a Realtor in Atlanta, and will be happy to help if I can. I can recommend many builders and designers that can help you, and I can help you find a location.
