My husband builds homes. We never get a price for a house, because it is then in the builder's best interest to build as cheaply as possible. We give a fair estimate ($110 sq. ft) but it is up to the customer to stay in the price range he/she feels comfortable with.(picking out counter tops, light fixtures, tile, carpet, etc., etc.) ( I meant to say we never GIVE a price for a house) My dh works by the hour and does most of the work himself, plus he gets a percentage of the materials and subcontractors.
