Exactly. In the US even things that look like brick houses aren't actually brick but the outer veneer.
But whatever the materials, you're looking at a minimum of $100k for materials, and then the rest is labor and other expenses (like delivery, excavation, etc).
Even a "manufactured home" (think: doublewide) costs something like $80-$100k before delivery these days.
but are they charging that much based on it costs to make a double wide, or is it based on what the market will bear. If a custom home costs X, you'd charge X-a little bit to be competitive, not cost of materials * a reasonable markup.
