General Rehab Estimates

[Ross Hayes]

Hello

Do you have any general price per square foot (or other measures) that you use for general light work?

I’m defining general light work as plank flooring, painting, minor electrical, etc..

For example - is it fair to estimate flooring labor as $3/square foot?

Or a general rough number for interior painting.

I fully understand every market will be different. We’re in the Midwest. I’m just checking some of my model assumptions.

Thanks!

I agree with the other two posts above. I think it is better to connect with many GCs, find the ones you want to work with the most, and have them walk properties and provide bids for you. Using models to estimate would be great if every GC in an area charged the same amount for labor, but that is not the case. For example, some GC's may have a go-to electrician to sub out that work, but not have a great HVAC guy, and vice versa. Thus, they may charge a much different amount depending on the scope of work for a particular project. Estimating costs comes easier with experience and working with the same people multiple times. Hope this helps.
