As a rule of thumb, the typical stick-framed Midwestern home (so, 3-4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, vinyl siding, asphalt shingled roof, drywall interior, mid-range cabinets/flooring/trim) will typically cost around $100 per finished square foot.

Of that number, roughly 1/3 of it is for framing the shell. The rest is all plumbing/HVAC/electrical/trim.

There's a lot of easily-invalidated assumptions built into that number, so take it with a grain of salt.
