$150-200 per sf sounds about right.

It really depends what your family wants.

Regular house - 1 Kitchen, bunch of rooms and washrooms etc.

Upstairs suite and downstairs suite for rentals. (legal or illegal).

Your foundation/ framing/ drywall / exterior/ insulation/ or basically the shell can cost only so much.

It's what you want inside, if you have 3 kitchens? then it starts to build up costs, instead of building gas pipes for 1 kitchen, now you have to extend it to the two other plus you gotta make sure your hot water is enough for so many ppl.

Plus, getting a permit at city already costs you $10k already.
