Hi,

What would it cost to rehab a 6000 sq feet house with Viking sub zero appliances, hard wood floor in all areas , finished basement, tray ceilings, iPad controlled audio, tv, electrical system, new roof , ultra luxury bathroom (s)with Carrera marble, extremely energy efficient windows and walls, cat 6 cable wiring everywhere.

House is 6 BED6 BR with all brick and stone on outside with everything else gutted inside .Lot size is more than half acre.

Please ask any questions if I have left any details.

PS Similar houses in that subdivision which are > 25 years old sell for 1.7-2 million.

PPS I was planning to build new house on a vacant smaller lot, but since new property came up have decided to explore it.

Thanks.

Hi, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. We are going to close on a vacant lot soon of approximately 15000 square feet. We are planning to build a 5500 square feet house with 4br relatively modern and upscale finishing with 4 car side loaded garage. Lot is in established subdivision of a suburb of large midwestern city. So far, couple of builders have quoted in 185- $200 per square feet range. Are there any tips you can give us to save may be 10-15%? Obviously, we don't wish to sacrifice quality/safety. Any dont's? must have features? We are going to pay with cash for the lot and then apply for a construction loan initially which will be converted to a fixed loan later on with one time closing fee of approximately $1500. Thanks. P.S.Moderators, if this is the wrong forum, please move the post to appropriate section.
