I know this is not a black or white answer but what range is the "going rate" so to speak for building a new home?

2nd question - Clearing a lot. If I needed a half acre to 1 acre cleared - what could i expect there?

These are basic questions so basic answers will do. I am just trying to get a ball park here.

Thanks guys. I have not posted much but I still read the boards from time to time. We just had my 1 year old's birthday and we are expecting another in July. Alan Jackson said it best - Time Marches On.

I just finished building a custom and without the cost of the land, i am all in at $91 per sq ft. This includes irrigation, landscape, and 100 pallets of sod.

The land clearing i cleared 1 acres and have 20k tied up in removal of trees and building of pad with multiple compaction test.

I would advise talking with someone who is a GC and does it for a living.

I cant speak to much of that. I just had a guy with a mulcher come out and do some clearing for me and he charged $150 hr for clearing

I'm a homebuilder in the Jackson, Madison and Brandon area. There are way to many variables to quote a price without looking at the plans and discussing finishes like granite, wood etc. I'd talk with a friend or someone you know whose recently built in your area. They should be able to give you the name of a builder they were happy with. Any reputable dirt man will come out and give you a price for clearing your lot and putting in your dirt pad.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thank you for the good info.
