Wow.... so maybe I could have you give us a quote when it's time for my wife and I to apply which will be shortly.
do you do all-in-one construction to permanent mortgage loans..??
i may have a client 4 you
[praying] please dont work for CrapitolOne.... [/praying]
but u have such a cute ass
I use Countrywide, M&T, Suntrust, Indymac, Chevy Chase (real lender) and several others depending on the borrower.
I've got a call in to see what I can do on construction out of state. In just about every instance, the loan is a one time close construction loan with a max cap on the end loan rate.
End loans I can do all day long.

Ok cool deal, I'll get in touch with you when we're ready to apply.
Framing p0rn:
Damn... that's a lot of freekin' wood in that house!
Even in a flat market, it usually picks up after Presidents day and continues through the spring. People like to try to get set up for start of the new school year for the fall.
It's the same here... with the days getting longer and the weather nicer ( 77 degrees here yesterday) there has been a noticible increase in sales traffic.
not even a little bit.I was looking at how small your rafters are but I guess you don't have to worry about snow load down there.
There is some 10:12 on there but there is also some 9:12, 12:12 and 16:12 and a lil' curved metal roof over the front dormer which hasn't been built in yet...Now wonder why all the houses fly apart when you get a little tornado.
J/K
Is that a 10:12 roof?
i'll have to look that up later for you... i think the total framing/doors (int & ext)/trim/roofing is around $28k... but i'll check that.
no that's materials only....Wait...
Total cost for labor, materials, roof shingles and install, ext trim, is around $28k?
Holy fawk....
I am paying $6.25/sf for my framers... or $15,637.50
($6.25/sf is about a $0.75 more than the going rate for crews from south Texas but i know this framer and i know he knows his sh!t. too many problems with out of town crews usually.)
Roofing labor is going to be around $4k i figure.
Sounds like the house I'm working on is roughly double what yours is. The roof will be like 4 times as much and they windows and ext. doors will probably blow yours out of the water.
PS. the framing crew working on my job is from south of Texas and they are Great! We have a great foreman on the job and his laborers are awesome!!
prolly, but i am spending a whole $2300 on the front door...
over all this one is a good return on my investment.
**my biggest cost per actual hour worked is to the plumbers... takes them 5 days to do a house like this from start to finish and they will cost me over $10k.
Again that is less then 1/2 what we're paying.prolly, but i am spending a whole $2300 on the front door...

The windows in the house I'm working on are around $46k thats not including the front door.
Who did you get your front door thru?
It's all about location my friend, houses that sell in the $200K-$300K are generally cheaper to build than the $500K-$700K. Labor rates reflect costs of living in every area. I'm running a remodel at my sister-in-laws place and the cheapest bid we got for a 500sf addition (foundation, rough framing, new window installation for the whole house, & stucco siding the whole house) $138K. That's no roof, drywall, electric, plumbing, etc.
Thanks captain obvious!
I used a company called All Seasons who reps Moulding Associates Inc door company:

LOL!!!
the house i am building costs a few $k more than that not counting the $28k lot...
fun place to visit but wouldn't wanna live there.They bought their little 2200sf fixer upper for only $1.2mil.
Gotta love Bay Area housing prices
i liked living in Oxnard back in the mid 80's... i did ok in some real estate there when i sold and moved to freekin' Lousyana...
crumb catcher
Taken at about 5:30PM... this decking crew is bad-ass... this is the 4th roof they deck today and they had it decked and felted by 6:30...
Love me some radiant barrier OSB..!!!

Skip sheathing? You guys doing a shake roof?Sorry for the bad pic but the sun wasn't quite up this morning when I was onsite.
We're doing exposed rafter tails. First we need to lay down purlins then 1/2" CDX with ice and water shield on top because we need the purlins to nail to and the metal roofing manufacturer requires the 1-1/2" standing seam metal roof be applied on top of plywood to decrease oil canning and condensation.
