  Plus all the finishes. What do those cost in a standard house?

    According to the NAHB [1], construction is about 60% of a house's cost (the rest eaten by land, financing, etc.). Of construction cost about 20% is foundation, framing + insulation (what we have in this design). For this particular design it's not just all the finishes though, since you still need plumbing, electrical, etc. [1] http://www.nahb.org/assets/images/Table1_201035133529.jpg http://www.nahb.org/assets/images/Table1_201035133529.jpg

  Pet peeve: "about 200 €/m² including labour" is not supposed to be accurate to 4 significant figures - and even if it was, the EUR/USD exchange rate varies by more than that from day to day. "$25 / square foot" is much better if you treat it as a translation rather than mindlessly plugging numbers into a calculator. (Maybe I'm just being a grumpy old man, but I deal with this sort of thing all the time in my day job and it winds me up something rotten).
