And then coming out of it I was the first developer they gave horizontal loans to and that has led to me building over 250 new homes in the last 10 years..

If you are looking for a hard cost (construction costs from and including foundation and or slab up) make sure that you separate site (horizontal construction) from hard (vertical construction).You should separate hard cost from on and off site costs because hard costs should remain consistent for the same project built in the same market while site costs vary to meet conditions particular to each site.If you are asking about total cost, you will need to include soft cost, financing and costs and land.The major takeaway here is that you need to be very specific about what’s included in the $psf number you are looking for in order for the quote to have any value or meaning.Feel free to PM me if you need any help in getting to where you want to be.

Vertical ones are not a deal breaker, horizontal ones or bowing inwards is.

I'll take my horizontal pay check any day of the week whether I'm spending time with my wife, we are in Thailand, or at home on the couch.

Also, most hard money lenders that do ground up construction, don't like to fund horizontal improvements.

I ask only because I may be able to skip the thermal board and just side over the Tyvek.Interesting to note: The “exterior sheathing” on this 100yr old house is actually a series of horizontal 16” wide ¾” thick boards/planks.

I use a poster board with 23 horizontal lines and Post-It notes to manage my 23 STRs. 

In reality, and knowing more now, there are vertical cracks near the i-beam, pushed in walls, horizontal cracks, a lack of a sill plate in some locations, etc.

I prefer the longevity and "heft" of percale (percale is 1:1 vertical/horizontal, sateen is 1:2, 1:3, etc -- softer but less durable).  

Example, there is a big difference between a vertical crack and a horizontal crack in the basement foundation.
