    My partner and I have built several pre-builts now and have begun to receive request from other players. The problem is that I'm just not sure what to charge them. We are definitely not the best builders, but always receive compliments, and are obviously getting requests. So, what do you think is a fair price? I would like to figure out something based on the size, i.e $/sq, but any tips are welcome.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. What size, lot size/levels, would that be for?

    We were thinking of asking 3-4 dollars per square, plus mats. That puts a 15x15 w/ 3 lvls around 2-3k. Also we'll usually furnish the house as well. So, too high, too low, just right??

    You'd have to take into account the size of the build (plot size and height), the time it took to build it, and the material used. Post some screenshots so myself or other users can take a look and help you out

    A 15x15 with 3 floors would be 3-8k depending on how nice it is.

    Thanks for the input. The specifics help give me a pretty good idea of how to price homes of varying sizes.
