The tenants were out for 24 hours and came back found it and the water had already flooded out to the floor and the ceiling of 1st floor.

Our highest bidder, a downtown-based construction GC business, could not tell us what grade of lumber was quoted, would not share what brand of garage doors they used ("local vendors"), would not identify their steel beam and column supplier or water service vendor.

The Oregon Coast is ground zero for regions of the country that will in many ways become more inhabitable as temps rise, water dries and abundance of resources is more critical.

For example, an experienced plumber may suggest putting hammer arrestors on a plumbing system, to help alleviate potential water hammer problems (knocking noise) and prolong the life of components/fixtures/appliances, but the local building code may not require them.It would also depend on what you are doing the work for and how the deal #'s pencil out.

In terms of new construction, a couple things to be aware of in San Luis Obispo County are water shortage issues and development fees/taxes which can significantly increase the building costs.SLO city and the neighboring cities are particularly diligent on their water usage, as most of the county's water supply comes from three surface water reservoirs and a groundwater basin.
