Cost per square foot to build a house?

[jpcajun]

I will be building a house next year and was just wondering what it cost you to build yours. We will be subcontracting it out and will be doing the painting and floors ourselves (well family members who have experience in doing these things).

Wont be building an extravagant home but a nice home we can call our own. Will be building about 2,000 sq ft living. Lafayette area

What did you spend? Did you do some of it yourself?

Any info is appreciated.
