Back to 8" walls

I hate the idea, but after further consideration to the additional cost and weight of the boards (which would be hard for one person to do) I've reduced it back to being 8" walls. I'd say reducing the wall by two inches has reduced the stud price by 1/3 or more.
With this design, changing the wall thickness will not effect the amount of wood used.

Better info to plan with:

After having issues with the wall studs and exterior panels lining up, I found a better way to plan and, more importantly, a better guide on the material costs.
I've decided to go with 10" wall thickness, for better insulation, better sound barrier, and easier for the plan.

Change of plans: One level 768sqft Home

Changing plans because it'll be easier (though a bit more expensive for the foundation) for a single person to put together a single story building then it would be to put together a two story.

House Stud Total $1890

TheAtomicHouse: Design1: 768sqft

.
As stated before this house design will be made to be able to be put together by a single person (or two people) and will be made to have the easiest build possible.
The current design will be a two story to help reduce the footprint cost and have a 16x24 floor plan. I will try to design the upper level to have the option of one or two bedrooms.

The studs per level (floor and wall) are currently estimated to cost $790, with a two story and roof running $1,860 for studs.
