Here's a question: I'm using a hand-rolled spreadsheet for estimating (yes doing all the material calcs based on floor/wall/ceiling area). Not convinced about the metal roof either, and I just noticed it's in both pie charts, oops. 26 x 38 rectangle, 20 trusses + 2 gables, done.

Guy was on site 4 days with a JD full size backhoe loader w/op, a Kubota loader w/op, and a floating helper.

Plus he pulled a couple of large trees and trimmed some big live oaks. I had a local tractor guy come in a while back, and he scraped up a 1200 sf house that had collapsed and was hidden by years of overgrowth. There is no heavy site work involved except digging the footer 16 W x 24 D with a mini track loader, which is included in the slab quote. Maybe their in-laws/drinkin buddies work cheap, idk.

Not sure what you mean by 'cost wise, your to far away.' ? $100/sf is what a couple of local GCs here told me they spend. The house has both a septic and well, but a previous owner tied into city water years ago because the property is literally just outside city limits. They are sticklers for codes on new construction (wind load, J equations), but clearly laissez-faire about existing and remodels. It's in a low density county in rural Florida. No change to # of occupants or # of bedrooms, so should be no impact to septic as far as county is concerned.Īddenda: I purchased the property last October. It is on a septic tank system that was recently inspected and measured for flow. The supply and waste lines for them will be run along the exterior wall behind the kitchen cabinets, and tie into the existing plumbing between the kitchen and bath. Washer and laundry sink will be in the addition 'util' room. Because the toilet, shower, and vanity are in the existing bath, and the supply and septic tank connections are there, it's not really possible to rearrange anything. The left side of the plan shows the existing structure (yellow/black section arrow). You have to hold on to the railing when you flush.

'den' room: general purpose, lights and outlets onlyĪ state-of-the-art anti-gravity generator will be installed in the attic.

'shop' room: general purpose, lights and outlets only.

cross gable: new trusses over addition, tied into existing.

single gable: new trusses to replace existing, ** OR**.

roof will be asphalt shingle over 3/4 ply, on top of either.

captured exterior wall will be retained, interior door to be added as shown, windows will be removed and openings filled.

8' concrete block walls 3 sides with bond beam, verticals, and truss anchors.

no rough plumbing or electrical required under new slab.

no basement or stem walls or crawl space.

monolithic slab on grade, level with and tied into side of existing slab (also on grade).

I might hire a carpenter for a day or two to help with the framing, and I might farm out the drywall too. I have some background - did residential electrical and HVAC back in the 70s and 80s. I will work with a carpenter, electrician, plumber, and HVAC guy for technical questions and pre-inspections. 'Shell' means mono slab, concrete block walls, beam, trusses, roof, doors, windows. Strategy is to contract out the shell and DIY the rest, taking my time on it. I talked to a couple of GCs in this area and they confirmed their input cost is around $100 a square foot. I plan to build a ~600sf addition to an existing ~500sf concrete block house to create a small retirement home. It's all rough quotes and ballpark estimates for now, will be getting hard quotes over the coming weeks. See floor plan and cost breakdowns below. Naysayers and cheerleaders are equally welcome.

What do you think is bad, good, wrong, right, risky, etc. I would like to get some comments on this.
