Block Home - S/f Price Help?

MHMConstruction

I know it is evil and just plain slack to ask what OTHERS charge, but I am a framer/remodeler/window/door guy that happens to be a licensed BC and today I got a call asking me to bid a block home (the whole thing)

I'm building my own house (taking my time, watching every penny, shopping around, doing most of the work myself) so I know how to get sub bids and mark up. But this guy wants his house built now, and wants an estimate asap

just looking for some general feedback - I really did not want to get into the house-building part of this business, but it seems to be following me....

Block home - 3.5 baths, only 1600 s/f w/ garage - gable roof, stucco

Can anyone give me a good base I can work from? $60/sf???? $100/sf???? I'm in N Central Florida - so if anyone local does not want to give up their prices, I understand.....

will be subbing most everything out -

i've done some poking around and it looks like new block homes run from $85/sf for low-end to $250 for nicey nicey

I saw a post on here a week or so ago about s/f prices builders are getting in CA - not sure why no one wants to 'chime in' for Florida, but no worries....

again - really had no intention of house-building anytime in the near future, but opportunity knocks, so we'll see......
