I'm getting close to closing on some property, and drawing up some plans. My question is for those of you who build, or have built homes. I'm buying around 3 acres, and I was wondering if it is cheaper to build a 2 story home, or keep it all 1 story. I have enough property to spread the home out, but didn't know if the cost of concrete is more than going up to a second story.

cheaper to go up than out for sure. but, the older you get, and if you have any kind of back\knee\leg issues that second story is not too useful.
if you are your own GC you get some savings. if you are not GC, have two plans. one single story and one two story and get a bid on both and compare for yourself.
i typed this before the other posts about your preferences came in. my upstairs is solely kids and guest bedroom. had hip replacement surgery a few weeks ago, haven't been up there in a few months.
