Default Completing a home.

And we are coming out at $140 a sq ft.

It is energy star approved with open air source system and propane backup.

If you want energy star rating, you need to call PSNH first and have them give you the materials for energy star approval. We hired a well known Lakes Region builder who claims to be knowledgeble on energy star homes. It wasn't until he finished the framing installed the windows and doors, and roofing when we contacted PSNH. The house was far from being compliant. Because the energy star compliant was a written agreement, we were able to get out of the contract and hire another builder to finish. We had to pay extra to bring the house up to compliant. As 'Holmes on Homes' says, Never trust a builder.
