Hey Will,

Sorry for not being clear.

I mean cinder blocks for concrete blocks and precast concrete panels I meant the factory build concrete panels only. Not modular homes.

I hope that helps :)

Hi all,

We have a plot of land just outside of Orlando that we’re considering getting several 2,000 houses build.

Construction wise, we’re looking into poured, precast panels, and concrete blocks. While we’ve been weighing the pros and cons of each one, we’re really trying to figure out the price differences. So far, we’ve been getting a lot of mixed messages.

Does anyone have experience building a house this size in either concrete blocks, poured, or precast panels?

I’m really curious in price differences between those.

Have a good one,

Julius

Hi guys,

I’m requesting help understanding the utility fees when demolishing a house. I have called the utility companies, but I’m not getting a clear overall picture of the whole process.

If I demolish a house and its basement foundation, then how much does it cost to excavate old utility lines if I have no plans to rebuild (selling the lot only)? The utilities office says I have to pay to take out the old lines for safety reasons when not building again for 2 - 5 years.

Alternatively, if I rebuild with:

-excavating out the old foundation

-putting in a new & larger foundation

-starting right after the demolition is over

…then do I have to pay to rip out all the old utility lines AND install brand new lines to the new home? How much do these jobs cost, & how do they estimate this?

And also, I’m guessing that I will need a temporary water supply and temporary power supply for the rebuild projects only, right?

Thanks :)

Hi @Will Fraser,

Thanks for your reply. Yeah that's what I figured and is probably the best route to go. Thanks for confirming that.

Hi guys,

I have an opportunity to purchase a number of lots for new development project. The thing is they all have old foundations in the ground from previous houses that need to be removed first. I'm trying to ballpark the removal cost. 

Is there any metric I can use to calculate roughly what it would cost me to get them removed? Most are slab foundations while a few had a crawlspace and one had an old basement.

Thanks :)
