Building Homes? Does anyone know of a website where you can virtually build homes? If so please tell me!
Building homes? Does anyone know an estimate of having a house built that is 2800 ft sqared? We would like to have 4 bedrooms on main floor, a small office, a dining room, living room, and kitchen (all 3 open), a bathroom and a half bath in master bedroom. A full finished basement with a small kitchen, furnace room, laundry room, storage room, bathroom, and small bedroom. All the rest is open. Any estimates would be great. Want to get some opinions before we go to a contractor.

We have been building homes for seven years now including Framing, Renovations, Vinyl Siding, Interior Trim, Custom Decks, and Hardi Plank Siding. We are currently looking to evolve our business and if you know any contractors their names and numbers would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
What can you do to stop or slow down building homes on 1 lot or half lots in established neighborhoods? My neighborhood is filled with older single family homes and now over night we have been swamped with new buildings. Three story shotgun style homes are being built on a single lot 25 feet wide a 100 feet long, And now we are seeing homes being built in the alleys in back yards with no frontage on a street. Its to unreal to imagine but realtors under cover of night brought out our city council and zoning boards what can we do?
Starting a house building business? (termite proof homes) = What do you think? I have a desire to start building homes, especially termite-proof homes that don't have wood inside of them, more for the areas of Southern Florida and Southern California, but these will cost a LOT more than typical home construction (about 50% to 70% more). I hear that home sales are a bit slow now. When do you think that things will pick up again so that I can begin building my dream homes and sell them to eager buyers?
Why are they building huge subdivisions of homes with the market so bad? Home sales are down over thirty percent where i live. In fact the home next to me and one two doors down have been empty and on the market for almost a year now. They have reduced the price twice yet two blocks over they are building a new six block subdivision and half the homes are built now and for sale. Can someonw explain new home vs. existing home value in the market today? What would motivate a company or investor to build right now?
Do people that are building homes simple not realize that your behavior affects the price you're getting? People amaze me - I work in the building supply industry and I have never met so many people that believe they are superior to the suppliers they are dealing with. I just met the meanest woman in my showroom who was exceptionally rude and nasty. I (obviously) had someone else help her but I discussed it with the salesperson later and this woman is going to pay a HUGE premium for her supplies. Furthermore, I'm going to drop an email out to all of my contacts that bid to her and she'll pay a premium at the competition too. This is known as the "you're a pain in the a$$" charge in the industry. Thank you for letting me vent guys and remember, if you are building or remodeling it would be in your best interest to not demean or treat others as if they're beneath you. Competition or not, we talk.

Do portable homes have to meet any building codes? Meaning buildings like converted ship storage containers, mobile homes, or even one house I saw on hgtv shaped like a space shuttle. How can unique homes meet building codes if necessary? Also what about rv's or converted school buses And dome homes? What about underground homes?
Why doesn't North America Start building more inorganic houses verses organic homes? In most other counties they build inorganic homes which save a lot of energy as far as heating and cooling. They last a lot longer. The floors are usually ceramic tile and then carpet which is easy to clean and more sanitary. Inorganic homes only have one flaw which is the roof. They are useally two heavy. but that can be fixed easilly. Inorganic material means brick, metal or cinder blocks ect. Where organic material means anything that used to be alive like wood or plastic ect.
Should building homes for the Haitians be the responsibility of the U.S. taxpayer? We can provide some kind of temporary shelter, food, water and security. But as far as providing Haiti with rebuilding their homes, we have millions of homeless right here in the U.S. If they didn't have insurance on their shantys. Even if they had insurance, that insurance would only rebuild the shanty not some highrise building. We need to build homes for our homeless first.
What do you think about investors/private owners building huge homes in established neighborhoods? Even if we have the freedom to do so, do you think this is fair to those living in that community? They will tear down a cottage or ranch style home and build an estate or mansion-type house that does not fit the neighborhood. Is it wrong for me to feel that way? They are edging out the middle-class. These are people with much more money than I have Mr. Jello. They have areas already build for the rich and famous. Why take away from the middle class just because you like the area.
Is the Labour parties stance of building more homes in the uk realistic? With regards to green policies such as keeping green spaces and can it go on forever and be practical with regards to issues such as waste management and water supplies? Are they looking at the whole picture? Also with land so scarce and at a premium- due to excessive demand- will these new homes really be affordable housing? Loads of good answers here- thanks everybody.
Is there a company that produces recycled plastic building materials for inside homes? I'm looking for companies that produce 100% recycled building materials and products (plastic timbers, they can be made out of other things in combination with the plastic as long as it's all 100% recycled material) that can be used for the frame of a home, interior and exterior walls, ceilings, floor boards, stairwells, interior railings, etc. Thank you very much for your time :)
Why is everyone so concerned about feeding the birds and building them homes in Canada? Would the birds not be around otherwise? Are these birds not geting everything on a silver platter in this country? Shouldn´t they be "more independent" ;) ? I mean birds you´d find in the gardens and trails; common birds like robins, cardinals, finches, humming birds, etc etc. The park authorities even encourage you to feed them when you go pass feeders in the parks, and take advantage for bird watching

Building homes to sell. Any advice on getting started? Planning on building homes to sell. The homes will be built on lots we currently own and most work will be done ourselfes. What are some things to keep in mind when starting a business like this? Is it worth the extra money in materials to build bigger for a bigger resale? Is there any good building software out there?
Anyone know of Tom Martin of Martin Home Builders? He is presently building homes in Kingston NY? We are trying to get info on this builder. He is buiding in the Sky Top Subdivision in Kingston, NY and probably elsewhere in Ulster and Dutchess County NY. We have tried to find a website but he doesn't have one. We even asked the realtor who has listed the homes but they have not answered us. We are wondering if this company is reputable and how we can get any and all info on him and the company. Thanks!
Why aren't we building environmentally friendly homes? The technology is out there, how come we are not building wheelchair accessible, environmentally friendly homes? In the Plains states air conditioners and natural gas furnaces are the biggest energy consumers in the home. With all the new solar technology and water to air heat pumps, how come more environmentally friendly homes aren't being built? Can't the average American afford such a home? I know that installing a loop system that utilizes the earth as a heat sink can cost several thousand dollars.
Why is it legal to build homes and businesses so dangerously close to streets and highways? We see it all the time. I know of a restaurant where part of the dining area sits maybe 20 feet from rt. 1 speed limit 45 or 55. How many homes have we seen mere feet from the road in sharp curves? Even a building that sets back a little from the road is at risk of a vehicle barreling thru if theres no barrier. Yet people will let their children play in front yards with traffic zipping by right at the end of the driveway. Its insane.
Should fireproof homes be built instead of the conventional way? I hope a lesson has been learned from the California fires to build homes of fireproof materials in the wild fire zones and around the country. What is your take on this? Some have mentioned the expensive costs. How much is a human life worth? You can replace a home, but not a living person. It looks like the UK is aware of the dangers of wooden structures. In the US nobody has addressed the question of a human life. Money is not important when it comes to protecting a life.
Building multiple homes on one piece of land??? I was wondering if anyone knows a rough estimate of how much it would cost to run plumbing/sewage/electrical lines for about 4 homes on one piece of property (1/2 acre)? Each home would be a modular home on foundation. Thanks! I forgot to mention that I already know I would have to have the land zoned for 4 properties and such...

Where can I find the California building codes for firewalls between town homes? While moving my daughter's new bed upstairs, I put a hole in the drywall, and while I was replacing the drywall, I found that there is no firewall separating my town home from my neighbors townhome. (A firewall is a wall made of brick or cinderblock that is used as a buffer to protect homes from fire.) I would like to find out if they are manditory in San Diego, CA, because they are back home.... Where can I find out?
