I see you already have a few replies, but as people have mentioned labour is pretty pricey, it also doesn't include:
land
permits
foundation
insulation (though I live in Canada)
electrical
plumbing
heating
cooling
kitchen
bathroom
changing your mind about something after it's already done (charge extra for that)
Also I doubt you'd want cedar shingles on your roof.
On the bright side you can knock off the price of the sash weights, and probably "building paper"
(unless that means they pay the price to have the blueprints signed off by an engineer).
- jedberg 10y ago> insulation (though I live in Canada) Even here in California we have insulation. It's just a lot cheaper than where you are because it doesn't have to be all that good.
- sokoloff 10y agoBuilding paper is that which has largely been replaced with Tyvek house wrap on vertical members and rubber ice dam guard and roofing felt underlayment on the roof. It's still "there" in concept, which is to provide an air barrier and block the wind coming straight though.
- ChoGGi 10y agoAh right, forgot about Tyvek.
