All the "guts" are in the basement- hot water hearer, furnace, well pump- so no rebuild cost, there, in my request.

I'm asking this in view of the fact that many numbers have been tossed around in this thread, but I'm not looking for lot clearing/grading or well digging- just today's prevailing per sq. ft/ cost (or total price estimate) to build (rebuild) each building.

Thanks for your thoughtful and knowledgeable responses.
The house across the street from me, a 30X40 A frame built in the 60's was purchased a few months ago for 550K. The women was going to tear it down and build a new house but builders were telling her that could take two years.
So she decided to gut and rebuild the place. She told me she got an estimate of 260K but as of a week ago she told me that price has gone up 70K and that doesn't include a new septic which it needs.
The place is going to be about 1600 sq ft not counting the walk out unfinished basement.
I think she's going to have 400K into the rebuild by the time it's finished and it's still an A frame.
