re: New construction house advice

We started our build in October of 22. We essentially built our house for $191/SQFT.
That includes the cost of our lot.
If you take out the cost of our lot we built our house for $145/SQFT. You can build a fantastic house for that price for square foot. We have thermador/sub zero appliances, quartzite, real hard wood floors and even old real cypress ceilings for our dining room and our office. Indoor antique brick pavers and brick arches.
We contracted everything out ourselves to save the money as this was our forever home too. I recommend compound construction and design. Jeigh is the owner and has a ton of experience with "Custom" homes.

Is anyone in New Orleans building quality homes at 145sqft or close to it?

I’m fairly crafty and grew up in construction so I’m tempted to skimp on some finishes like flooring if it gets me to the floor plan and price point I want. I feel like I can upgrade a lot of things over the years if I get my floor plans right.
Am I seeing that wrong?

Where did you source these and what was your lead time? Even a good friend that’s a rep for top end appliances told me 12-18 weeks.
