materials package

18 years ago

I know this is kind of an impossible question but I'm going to ask it anyway...

We've received a materials package bid from a supplier for our house plan: a two-storey, 2,000 sq.ft house with a crawl space and a 500 sq ft garage, 9' ft ceilings downstairs, vaulted upstairs, a couple of decks. It's a simple design.

The package includes everything to get us to lock up and somewhat beyond:

All framing lumber, sheathing and wrap ("panelized" wall sections 2X6 ext., 2X4 int), roof trusses, engineered I-joists both floors, subfloors, Milgard vinyl windows and sliders, Hardieplank siding w/window and door trim and corners, 30 year shingles, flashing and vents, soffit and facia, insulation, drywall, pre-hung interior and exterior doors w/hardware, casings and base, pre-assembled stairs, decking materials incl. spindles and handrails, garage door and opener, and nails, bracing materials, drywall tape/mud, and other misc.

It's coming in at around $110,000. Any shoot from the hip feelings on the relative cost?

Thanks!

Wow, I requested materials quotations in three different lumber yards and the prices came very similar, between 65,000 to 69,500.
The house is 2500 s.f on the main floor and a partially finished basement (about 900 s.f.)
Includes all the materials, wood, truces, windows (anderen 400), doors, railing, siding, etc.
We contract somewhere else the foundation, electric, plumbing, hvac, flooring, painting, etc.
In one of the places they told me that if we pay before every 10th of the month we get 3& back credited to our account.
Maybe you should request some more prices.
good luck

There are a ton of variables.

First, where are you?

Most of the time, items like insulation, sheet rock and siding are supplied by the sub. How much are you doing yourself?

California.
Yeah.... many years ago I used to be a sub... ;)
This is their package and the idea of shipping sheet rock, for example, doesn't excite me but there it is.
They provide walls pre-assembled in panelized sections so maybe that saves a bit.
I'll be doing a lot of the finish work myself.
I know it's a bit of an impossible assessment with so many variables, but any thoughts or ideas that come to mind very much appreciated...

Is this your plan, or one of the material companies' stock plans?

We are building a 2500 (3500 total) heated two story house in NC.The materials, all except siding was 65k or so. This was with Atrium vinyl windows and allowances for items like stairs and nails, etc. Even included sales tax.

If this is not a stock plan from the materials company, it might be worth it to price the more conventianal framing method. These plans save time, but only during the framing part of the build. After the house is "Dried in", everything else is just about like the conventional method. 110k seems like alot, but I do not know west coast prices, might be a great price!

forget panelized stick walls. they add big cost and are not worth it. if you want to go panelized to save labor or because you cant frame go with sips.
