ReplyDeleteI'm Kirkhall. I was discussing with my insurance agent recently about our coverage and trying to determine replacement cost of our structure only.
Our insurance sits at about $130/sq ft for re-building costs should we have a total loss of the house. Our house isn't too differently sized from yours and is a 1.5 story. So, in your opinion and based on your budget numbers so far... (not including land--just house costs), is $130/sqft sufficient? (I don't think it is, here in W Washington, but I think you are in a better position to say.)
Dayna, I would say no because our's is at 141 square foot and that is with us doing a ton ourselves so having someone actually build the entire house for us would have been in the 175-200 range.
ReplyDeleteI just started my own "build a house" blog and was looking for others out there. I like the theme you chose. Feel free to pass on any "I wish I had known..." items to me!
