Where we build, here are the principal line items that make up most of a house enclosure. I know it is not everything, but doing a regional cost comparison will give some idea of how material costs are higher or lower by location.
Give us your cost figures for:

2x6x16, pressure-treated
For framing and decking, 2x4x16, 2x6x16, 2x12x16, 7/16 OSB, 3/4 OSB T&G

just to get things going here without running in the other room and digging, these are off top of my head....and remember that we are on an island.
One cubic yard of redi-mix concrete, 3000 psi
That will vary according to whether I add plasticizers, hot water and ferry fees or waiting time for the truck. The one plant quotes me $87/yd but I have to fiure it at $100 delivered on site if I do the form and pour. if my crete sub does it, it was about $250/yd last year and he told me it would not be that cheap again cause the plants are going up in price and steel is too.
