Let me give you a comparison. My current project is a 800 sf
room addition on an existing house. It is a game room and has
its own HVAC system. No bathroom, no kitchen, just a room
with a small wet bar and a few cabinets. Cost; $100,000.00
Your area is 4800 sf with 2400 of that finished for living
quarters. That is 3 times the area of my current job, plus
the sundries involved in the 2400 sf of the unfinished half.

Let me give YOU a comparison. My 30x40 post frame construction building
(1200 sq ft). With slab and radiant heat in the floor came to $18000.
That's permitted and built in less than 48 hours. Your 100,000 job is just a
fine example of people having more dollars than sense.

Wow, that must be a fine building. We have been working on
this project for about 3 months now. We are waiting on the
granite countertops and the wood floors to be completed and we
will be done. I have completed a few building projects in
less than 48 hours, but they have all been minor repairs.
Perhaps you are not in the construction business to make money?
That is all I have done for the last 35 years. I am usually
the middle bid on a three bid job. Which is where I want to
be. The high bid on this job was 125,000 and the low bid was
98,000. Perhaps you have lower costs in your area. Perhaps
you don't pay for labor.
I have a friend that lives in Mexico (Ciudad Montes) that has
been carrying materials back from here for years. He built
his home for less than 5,000.00. 3 bedroom, 2 story, with a
huge living room, huge kitchen, huge covered patio, all used
materials. It took him 5 years to build.
I am not saying that the OP couldn't do the job for what he
thinks he can, but I couldn't do it for that. And I will bet
that he can't either. Wanna put some money on it? If he
would be willing to show his receipts, I will put some money
down that says he can't.

All I am saying, is I know it costs no where near $500,000 to build a
simple pole barn.
www.hansenpolebuildings.com is a fine example of one of the many
company's that will take your exact quote ( free quote ), of the
sizes, dimensions, etc, and give you a quote back. They do not build
it for you, as pole barns require NO architect or engineer. Simple
plans to put together a pole barn. It does help to have some builders,
but a few good guy's can put a pole barn up in the matter of days.
How many of you know that I am talking about Pole Barns? Look into
what a pole barn is and know it doesn't take a very much money, or
effort to put one up.
Hansen Pole Building provides ALL materials for the pole barn. No
electrical, plumbing, hvac, etc. But the wood, the siding, the roof,
the doors, windows. Etc. And the size I quoted, for $30,000. I
completely agree, that a HOUSE, or even a garage, will cost quite near
$100,000 if done right. Or maybe $500,000 for a house.
Thanks for the input though. I did take some advice practically
though. I defiantly took it with a grain of salt.
