Builders, cost per square foot?

Yes, I know materials are up a bit, but not enough to push pricing that high. An extra $20-30k in materials and isnt going to push an overall number that high.

Starting to research builders now to get a real feel for it to see if this makes sense.

Bensonwood has been mentioned a few times as a good prefab option. Is it me or is their stuff on the website really ugly? I am looking for a craftsman/adirondack look.

If you would consider a log cabin, I can give you contact info for the guy that built our log cabin up in Clarksville,
He is from Rumney and has been in the log home business since the 70's. He has built well over 200, from small cabins to full size homes.

He also built the cabin that is Abe's Awesome Armaments
In my opinion he does great work, and his prices are surprisingly reasonable
