Home building costs

I quickly glanced at this and read it as modified, which I guess is possible in some ways.
I’m doing a 40x56 with 16’ walls pole barn in southern Iowa as well. $145k for all the bells and whistles. 1/3 of the barn will be a finished cabin.

Okay, before I read the finished cabin part, I was wondering how the heck you got that expensive at first. I have used Cleary a couple times now. Quality and construction were on par with Morton.
How long ago did you build this? Just wondering how much supplies have gone up since then. We will need to build a deck in a few months (or wait until next year).
I used to work with lady in her mid sixties who always said “don’t call a doctor, call me!”
I think a lot of them probably won’t do this. The good ones are in such high demand these days, they will only bid on complete jobs.
Yeah...don't even talk to me about the cost of building a deck or addition. It has been a real eye-opener for us; supply chain delays, failure to order ahead, rising cost of supplies...yikes.
NuMark out of Pella is great for the pole barn. The only problem is that they are over 2 years out on bookings!
Quoted from a builder at 325-350/sqft to build in Eastern Nebraska.
20'x20' wood deck replaced with composite (keeping footing posts no less) was quoted at 14.5K.
Heard from others heating and cooling equipment is backordered real bad--not good for replacing my AC this summer.

I see that lumber futures are way down. Almost pre-pandemic levels. Is now a good time to start construction projects, or are the rising interest rates going to offset?
May need to see if contractors are busy or not. If they slow down then you could really see some savings.
New construction has slowed down considerably judging by the businesses I work with.
We still have permits and trucks all over the place. Including Casa de KnappShack
Just the view from my little corner of the world.
