[QUOTE="CHASMAN9, post: 633795, member: 307"] When I used to build in Greystone Country Club(bunch of rich soccer mom MF'ers making doctors famous) and the houses started at 4500+ sq ft all the way up to 28,000 sq ft, with all the bells and whistles. Prices including a $150k lot, realtors rape fees, builders wee profits, direct building costs, we were in the $175-190/ft range. Typical amenities were granite counter tops, marble/ sand and finish hardwood flooring, upgraded fixtures, irrigation system with full usually $20k in plantings, poured wall basements(unfinished but roughed for future) silent floor systems, 50 year roofing shingles, full brick with minimal siding if any, and lots more finishes. To compare prices today for example, I had a contractor give me a quote to add 84 sq ft to an existing dock, 6-6' posts concreted in piers and 5/4" deck boards, $3500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I priced the materials myself and they were $486, this jackass wanted to charge me over $3000 to frame it in. $36/ foot, ridiculous. Oh, and he asked me if I wanted to go ahead and get on his schedule? :rolf: :rolf: :rolf: I told him I would get back with him but not to hold his breath waiting on that call. :butt: :butt: :butt: :butt: :butt: :butt: [/QUOTE]
