Deck Building, Cost Increase...?
963852
The original deck has a total area of 120ft².  The new deck has an area of 192 ft².  That's 72 ft² bigger.\n\nWe need to look at what percent of 120 is 72... Division is the key here...\n\n72/120 = .60\n\nThat means the new deck is 60% larger, hence the cost would be increased by 60% also.

Obviously this depends on the costs for your contractor in your area and labor.   Materials will vary in price as well. A good place to research that would be at a place such as Home Depot (for your materials)   Once you cost them out, you can shop for lower prices.   Permits also need to be costed in as well as cost for blue prints, septic systems or sewer; whether or not the lot has electric to the boundries or if you have to put in it; etc. Take your time and research it before you settle on a contractor.  There are so many ways to go; stick built, pre manufactured, kit (for log cabins) design simple or complex; single story or townhouse.  I did a lot of research on the internet and was never bored.  Learned a lot.  Have fun.

To be honest, the cost of manufactured homes have increased so much, you might find a better deal on an existing house. Unless , of course, you already have some land you were going to move on to.

break down the cost in Board size new and used.\n\n10-8 ft new $550.00 used $350\n7-8ft   New $495.00 used $300\n6-7ft    New $435   Used $250\n5-6ft    New $400    Used $200.00\nYou can find less but they will be water logged or pretty crappy. That will get you going look for the college kid that bought the surfboard to be cool and never used it. Nice and new and cheep because he is moving to Colorado. g.l

There could be interferences depending on how your building is sited on the lot.  Keep in mind that if you are building a residence the presence of mature trees is a real plus and your building plan should preserve as many as possible.  \n\nUnless your building has a large footprint, the cost of tree and stump removal will be a tiny portion of your overall costs.  Roots must be removed in the immediate area of slabs and foundations, however roots beyond these areas will not pose a problem.

I think it will top out around $3.50/gal  In the dallas area we were paying 2.99.  It has just start dropping to 2.89/2.81 in some places around town.

I suppose it varies, depending on what part of town you are in.  Uptown would probably charge more then downtown, don't you think?

Hello the costs range from anywhere between $134 per sq. feet to about $225 per sq. ft. for regular construction.  All higher end accessories and amenities will cost higher.

Rather than detail such info here, I have gathered several websites to help you on your way. \n \nAs for doing it inexpensively, you can only cut so many expenses, but as you educate yourself on thier general construction and avaialble parts resources; you should be able to id where dollars can be cut back.\n\nIt looks like some wings are available for only $62.00, my estimate for an all told price would be around 200-300.  YOu would need to define your idea of inexpensive to id a possible model for your goal.\n\nI wish you success and fun in your endeavor.  \n\nP.S.  Thanks for mentioning the ZAGI...now I am interested too, they sound like a lot of fun.

Your fee sounds reasonable, but you can probably increase it a little. Just hike it $5.00/hour (plead expenses such as gas have increased) for about 3 or 6 months, then hike it $5.00 again.

I've wondered the same thing, Sunshine!  They spend less than $2000 and get it looking SO different and great.  I would gladly spend that much to make my house look better.
