According to the Build or Remodel Your Own Home blog:

"Two-story construction is cheaper than one-story. Two of the most expensive parts of a house are the roof and the foundation. A two-story home with the same square footage as a one-story has half the roofing costs and half the foundation costs. There are also economies in plumbing and heating in two stories."

So according to this is cheaper to build up!
