Development in the Buckeye valley received its first great boost with the construction of the Buckeye Canal. In 1884, Malin M. Jackson named the canal in honor of his native state of Ohio, the Buckeye State. Clanton built 10 miles of the canal, which was completed in 1886. In 1887, Clanton and his family moved to Buckeye, becoming the first permanent Anglo residents.
The difference between insulated concrete panels and stick built construction is about a dollar per square foot, and sometimes less. The entire cost of building a home from foundation to shell is about $25 per square foot, with a range of between $21 and $40 per square foot.
Building a custom home usually takes several months, or more, and unforeseen expenses squeeze your budget. Custom homes typically cost twice as much to build as existing homes in the same area, plus the cost of the land. The national average cost of building a two-story, 2,500 square-foot home is $125 per square foot. This estimate includes mid-range materials, efficient windows and doors, turnkey finishings and appliances.
