For 1800sqft that is about 300k. The EcoSteel package was about 200 of that, and with steel prices rising that amount will have to going up.<BR/><BR/>But a quantity order of 5 or more houses would bring those numbers down giving a developer room for profit.lavarderahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241073948874188058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-38631530798108505562008-08-25T11:20:00.000-04:002008-08-25T11:20:00.000-04:00NOW you come up with this plan now that my house r...NOW you come up with this plan now that my house remodel is in full swing!?

The key to keeping the cost down is repeating designs multiple times. The engineering for this one is done, and its not an insignificant cost to rework it.lavarderahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241073948874188058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-82940870524353647892008-08-23T21:03:00.000-04:002008-08-23T21:03:00.000-04:00I see that in the cross section now, about the lan...I see that in the cross section now, about the landing level. The plumbing and the joists - that's an interesting issue. I like the idea of having all the floor joists exposed. That's going to have a cool look to it.<BR/><BR/>It really is a great-looking house. I think it could be very popular. It's got everything your typical family could want, in a pretty tidy package. I'll look forward to seeing more of it.John Commonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002455279105165175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-61540490855638350652008-08-23T14:07:00.000-04:002008-08-23T14:07:00.000-04:00I follow you.

Issues are however that the one bedroom would end up at a lower level than the other, or the landing level would have to be eliminated with a reconfiguration of the stair. Also the plumbing would now be sprinkled around the house which is not a huge problem but you can see how its all in one corner as laid out. What's driving that is the house has no ceiling, floor joists are exposed, and so would any plumbing if it was not kept in this tidy corner where we can have ceilings to hide it.lavarderahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241073948874188058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-3911452199560374872008-08-23T13:38:00.000-04:002008-08-23T13:38:00.000-04:00That's a great looking house with a super nice flo...That's a great looking house with a super nice floorplan. Reminds me of a four square. I always wanted to do a hip four square remodel.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I'd change, if you'll indulge me, is to rearrange the upstairs plan slightly. I'd swap the location of the small bedroom and the dressing room with the two baths. Then you'd have both small bedrooms at the front with better windows, and the master bath could have a nice view out the back balcony. The dressing room would be between the master bedroom and the small bedroom, providing a sound buffer, and neither of the smaller bedrooms would share a wall with the master anymore. Give you a touch more privacy from the rugrats.<BR/><BR/>If I bought that plan, which I could see myself doing, that's the change I'd want.John Commonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002455279105165175noreply@blogger.com
