sip, Icf, stick+foam. Alright heres where i need all you beautiful peoples help. With a budget of 450k Would you build any of these three if so which? We live in south georgia so cost of living is less than a lot of places. The average new home here from wood can be 120-200k. I dont really want wood and have read icf is around 15% more than wood? If i could build the most basic designed 2150 2 story on foundation no crawl or basement for 200k i could build icf for 250k would i ever recoop that in energy savings?

Hello Herschelt,

My name is Maggie Steck and I am about to embark on building "off-grid" homes here in GA. I live in Marietta and have been in new home sales most of my real estate career. I have very reasonable priced housing options for your new home. I would not build a conventional home as they are so very toxic. I am involved with many builders who are getting ready to build reasonably priced, off-grid, healthy homes up in the Dawsonville area and also work for a company that is producing incredibly affordable energy systems that can be priced into your new home along with substantial tax credits. If you want to talk, please call me at 678-908-7095. I'll put you in touch with these builders and you won't be sorry you built a typical toxic home.

Uhh that helps but not really much.
Im looking specifically for what i listed.
I have a great site i used but the prices just dont make much since.
Theplancollection claims some of the houses i really like are well within my budget.. But that doesnt make since due to the 15% over stick yet the site does show some beautiful homes.

Boy, it's been many many years since I've been able to build houses for $100/SF; guess building is very different in the south. All of these methods work, and they are all more expensive than building a double stud wall house which is somewhat easier since they use normal framers. SIPS is a great product, but done wrong it can be a disaster. ICF seems, from what I've heard, pretty bulletproof. Wood & foam work, but again, as with a double stud wall, you must get the details right. If you have thick insulation, but the house is not airtight you have a higher risk of mold & rot.

Yea look at new built valdosta ga homes the prices are extremely fair but most are ugh custom i dont care for lavish things just basic and effeciency.

Looking through some new builds in valdosta i found some within a 20 mile radius that were less than 100/sqft

Hmm so what is the actual % over stick builds for icf is it 15% 50% or 400%? If stick builds are 100$sgft in my area i actually wemt to some of these houses and they had a lot of extras i could care less about so im sure where they had a 40k bath i could use 20k where they had a 60k kitchen i can use a 35k i know where the fat is and can budget around it... But the question is for just the building nothing extra just the actual frame how much for 2 story 2200 sqft
