Month 3 update on Duplex Construction w/all costs so far

[Garen T.]

Thought I'd share an update, and the costs I've hit so far on this project. 

Couple of pics to start things off. 

I have to be over there almost daily keeping up on stupid things and decisions the sub-contractors do not fulfill. I'm honestly really fed up with the general contractor.

As a reminder, I pay the exact invoices that are submitted to the GC. I then pay a fixed 9% fee on top of the non taxable amounts they were billed. Here are my costs so far.

Cost Summary To Date
Pre-Finance Appraisal	$850.00
Design and Engineering	$4,144.60

Total Spend to Date	$296,360.23

I'm guessing I have another $50K to go. 

That will put the total project (building only, I already owned the land) in the $350K range. I had budgeted $400K for the project. 

Per sq foot that would be right about $105/sqft.
