While people used to throw around $200/SF, in my limited experience I don't think that's reality today unless you are truly building a bargain basement house in Surrey. Before we bought our house, we had a very casual look into building and were getting rough figures in the $250-300/SF range with quality but not over the top finishing.

I'd look carefully at what is included and excluded in your $750k quote. That's $220/SF assuming it was all one structure and a laneway should add a fair bit of expense as it's a second foundation, roof, plumbing, additional permitting, etc.
