Why such a short estimate? Is this an America thing?
I'm currently renovating a 150 year old house that was previously majorly renovated 50 years ago and we're aiming for a useful lifespan just for the parquet/plumbing/electrics of at least 50 years, 100 years for the joists, insulation and plaster. The building will hopefully stand for hundreds of years.
