Add just a bit of a custom flare to it (attractive roof pitches and gables, bay windows or elevated ceilings.) and it just goes up from there. Comparing that to a stick built home in the same type house as you might find in modular, then $4-5 doesn't seem so bad either. Completely modular/prefab at 2.50 -3.00 would seem reasonable. If robinnc is distinguishing stick built homes as separate then I can only gather it is from modular/completely pre-fab slab to roof. There are a lot of moving pieces.where you are, supply and demand, what is included (big one) and quality and experience (another big one). ![]() Well, I guess all of this pretty well makes everything clear as mud right? There really is no simple answer. Get them to throw in the nails as a bit of lagniappe! If you are buying, they will shoot 'em up (so to speak), drop them, lose them, not pick them up.and they run 70-80 bucks a box. Nails can be quite expensive especially for these nail guns. can all have a huge impact on costs down the road.Īll in all, its impossible to say whether $6 is good or bad but it does not sound like highway robbery no matter what the circumstances.īTW.I recommend that you let them furnish the nails. How well it is built, how quickly it is dried in. Second only to the foundation, the framing is the single most important part of your house. And I am sure you are aware that less is not always better. My GC got bids that ranged from 7.50 - 11 sf and we are in the southeast. The size and complexity of the home is critical as well. I am sure with the construction pressure from the recent storms you guys suffered, good framers are at a premium. It really does matter about the what and where. This isn't just directed at the OP (and I admit I am in a crabby mood today), but would people PLEASE put in their profile where they are? Price questions especially are completely dependent on geography, and several other questions would benefit from the information as well. Our friends originally thought they were getting a bargain, but how much of a bargain are you getting when you have delays and the inside of the house is getting buried in snow (or rain) while you try to find a framing crew that isn't a bunch of drunks and druggies that can't do math? We had friends who went through three framing crews because they just couldn't handle the roof and some other details. The more jogs, hip roofs, etc., you have the more you will have to pay not just due to the details but because you will need a more skilled crew. ![]() You should also realize that for cerain houses you will have to pay more because you need a framing crew with more experience. The $8 price was from DH's cousin and I know he was charging more than that at the time. When we atarted building in 2000 the price was about $8-9 per SF (not including porches) with us supplying the nails. That price would be impossible to find in my area.
