Home Addition with some DIY?
Looking to add another 250-350 square feet to our old house, and wondered if we had the dry wall ourselves and there was a family friend to do electrical work, what can I expect to pay the other hand, approximately? We probably that also makes the plants ourselves. Just not sure how much reserve power and dry wall made by ourselves and a friend will save us in the long term. I hope the electrician, on the road. Oh, and nothing special, just a bedroom and possibly also small family room. Most likely is 14 by 14 rooms and 10 by 14 room. Very true. Our friend is the license, but can only go with the contracters electrician if the appointment is low enough. If dry wall than ourselves, is that savings of Nice? If there is a decent piece that can do everything just so you do not have the hassle!
I question Mr. Wolf estimated $ 200 sq. ft. + / – to the development of simple, site preparation / slab or foundation / windows / or additional roof insulation. I use as benchmark the cost of new homes being built by Lennar Corporation in Dallas / Fort Worth, where land cost is not exorbitant: For http://www.lennar.com/findhome/city.aspx ? City = DAL & Brand = ALL these projects, the finished house, more land has been built on selling for under $ 100 per square foot. Because, if the land is already paid, and all costs associated with roads and other improvements, I estimate that the price of Lennar building itself may be about $ 70 per square foot. I grant that There are significant savings when many homes built together in a housing development. There are also regional variations in the cost of labor, and to a lesser extent, the material. And a small 350 square meters, also will have higher overhead of a full size house. However, the fact that his proposed addition requires no plumbing tends to reduce the cost per square foot. But $ 200 for making peace? Sounds excessive. I encourage you to do as much work as you comfortable. Certainly you can do the insulation and hanging drywall. Your friend may do electrical electrician. I recommend you rent the tape and textured drywall. But the rest of the final work is not so difficult, and you can save up to one quarter of the total cost. Incidentally, you might want to reach an agreement with the contractor to stop by the work site periodically, as necessary to answer any questions you may have and to check the progress of their work. Depending on how busy you are, This could fill some gaps in its program for a little extra income, and given the benefit of their experience.
