Spent most of day calculating building costs. Compared SIPs vs framed, SIPs $23K more, except haven’t added insulation yet for framed. Lot of lumber you add to those panels. Did calculate using ZIP roof and siding. Don’t have framing labor costs in either.
Will cost $10k more to have a basement instead of slab on grade.
I did add concrete labor costs equal to the cost of the concrete, used $120 a yard, I’m sure I’m low. Did not add in the mud room cost, which won’t happen with a basement.
Lot has slope to do a walkout.
Took a swag at some costs. Found a lot of material costs from Lowe’s or HD.
Neither estimate includes doors or windows, roofing, siding yet which will be equal in both scenarios.
