House building kits Menards
Total Living Area 1456 sq ft, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths.
Material List Includes: Framing Materials, Flooring, Windows, Plumbing & Fixtures, Trim & Cabinets, Lights & Electrical, Doors, Roofing & Siding.
So what will the total cost of construction be?
Using the construction estimating software found on my Getting Started page for a 1, 456 sq ft single story new home in Biloxi MS 39530. I came up with the following approximate construction cost estimate for 2017:
Materials: $77, 521.00
Labor: $68, 975.00
Other: $34, 764 (Permits, plans, equipment, etc. and including a General Contractor’s Markup of $22, 485)
Total $181, 260.
Since Menard’s doesn’t supply foundation materials, I subtracted those costs ($4, 261) from the calculator’s total cost of materials of $77, 521 leaving $73, 260 as an adjusted (calculator’s) total cost of materials.
Calculator’s total cost of materials = $73, 260
Minus Menard’s total cost of materials = $60, 010
