Construction Cost Question

[BrandonA]

Thanks M16.

Looking for any ideas.

55x50 turn key slab, 40x50 buidling kit and the errection of the building ran us around 55k.

2 bedrooms upstairs and a big bunk room downstairs. Estimated cost was $155k. We did as much of the work as we could and paid for materials out of pocket when we could and got the note down to the $125k ball park.

I had two of them built like this several years ago. The total cost was around $120,000 each. The metal building was 40X60 with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms upstairs, a half bath, laundry room, dining/kitchen, and living room downstairs. The metal building has to be 18 feet tall to do a two story.

We used 21' eve heights to get 8'ceilings in the bottom floor and 9' ceilings on the second floor.

Matt that turned out nice. Ya'll did all the work yourselves didn't you?

Thanks! We contracted a lot of it out. Slab,Plumbing,Building, Framing, AC and Sheet rock is what we had contracted out.

Here is a picture of one of mine. I had this one built on my ranch down on the coast. I guess I should have done the weedeating before taking the picture. The upstairs bedrooms each have a set of double doors leading to the balcony. I had storm shutters installed so that why you can't see the doors. The bottom has a screened in porch to keep the mosquitoes out.

Those are all nice. I was looking at doing something like this but building a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath on the inside of a 40x60. Doing as much of it myself as possible to cut down on cost.
