What is approx cost of contruction?
Hello all,
Quite a newbie here and this is my first project so please help me out. I have a piece of land for building a duplex in Denver. It is for investment. I am investigating how much it will cost to build a duplex.
Fully understand that the construction costs varies depending on finishes. I would like to get some insight as to how much approximately a duplex costs to build?
Basic specification - for each unit in duplex
-3 storey
-2500 sqft
-4 bed room, 3 bath
-roof top deck
-1 kitchen, 1 living, 1 laundry
What is the typical cost for a building? I cannot find any information on the internet and would like your help,
Thank you

Hey Ven,
My advice to you on this one is to reach out to a few local contractors. Before you do that, you should have some plans drawn up. If you have the plans already, any contractor should be able to get you a reasonably accurate estimate on the build. From my experience, I'd tack an extra 10% on to what they give you, building costs always seem to run over a bit.
If anyone on here was to give you some estimates on your build, it would be a complete guesstimate. If you want accuracy, take the route I gave you above.
I hope that helps some, though it likely isn't what you wanted to hear.
