We aren't sure why he went up so far in price. We think he
made a mistake or he is to busy and does not want to say
no.
I'm going to talk to him this week and see why the $/sf went
up so high.
The sketch that came in at $70/sf is pretty danged close in
square footage as the blueprints. So I'm not really TOO
concerned with the square foot issue other than the X * Y
gives us a number we can't afford! [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] He is being
consistent in how he comes up with the numbers which is a
good thing.
Now the cost per SF is a big deal that he and I will have to
discuss.
That extra foot in the X and Y dimensions might not sound like
alot but it is dollar wise. For our house that adds between
10,000 and 13,000 dollars depending of the $/sf.
Another clue to the puzzle is that we had a neighbor house
that was about the s/f our builder is using. That house came
in at $72/sf. At the 70/sf mark our house was likely a bit
costly than the other house.
