Two methods of Budget Calculation:
|
1) By Rule of Thumb method:
Take the Camplex Kit Price and multiply by 3.5 to 4 to arrive at a very ball park turnkey price.
If by OWNER-BUILDER, use a 2 - 2.5 factor.
This assumes the owner-builder will perform all the labor for Carpentry, Painting and Staining, Caulking, Site Cleaning, Tree Removal and will give out subtrade contracts for Plumbing, Heating, Electrical, Foundation, Kitchen, Excavation.
|
|
2) By Per Square Foot method: |
add the total area of the main floor +
|
|
the total useable area of the second floor +
|
|
half of the square area of all cathedral areas +
|
|

Multiply the square foot total by the following price level appropriate to your requirements: |
