This book is the only easily read book which outlines the cost of land, building, and planning, but it is not all that helpful because of the limiations of each example. Many of these examples are simply not applicable to everyday building projects or sites; however, this book is a good place to start and determine what you particular costs may be.
It's a 'must' for any library strong in homeowner's and builder's guides.

HOUSE ON A BUDGET: MAKING SMART CHOICES TO BUILD THE HOME YOU WANT is now in paperback, retitled from The House You Build, and comes from an architect who offers his background and advice on creating a custom home on a budget. There's a gap between production housing and high-priced custom homes, and HOUSE ON A BUDGET fills this gap, offering the pleasures of a custom home with the tips from an architect on working with unconventional sites and the latest custom fixtures and additions. It's a 'must' for any library strong in homeowner's and builder's guides. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

As it states on the back of this book's title page, "House on a Budget was originally published in hardcover in 2004 by The Taunton Press, Inc., as The House You Build". It's a great book, just identical to The House You Build. Read the reviews of that book to see other opinions.
