Demo Estimating

[Ben Smith]

Hey BP,

I just got done looking at a house...TOTAL sh!@ storm. Not literally but darn close. I've been using $0.50/sq ft for basic room demo estimating (not kitchen or bath). I'm wondering if this would be an accurate number if I'm going to need to demo ceilings and floors. There is so much mold in the ceilings, and the floors all have to be replaced too (age). I got a number from a mold guy that I met at a REIA meeting and he said that I should be safe with using $10k-$12k for mold remediation. I'm wondering if I should use a higher per sq/ft number for my estimating on all the demo because it is more than just bad drywall and old floor coverings.

Thank you much,

Ben
