Quote from @Huiping S.: Lots families were flooded from Hurricane Helene.

Some other factors:- do you need structural steel which you can run into with odd shaped or wide buildings, especially if you're trying to get large clear spans or if you're going up to 5 stories.

Stainless steel kitchen appliances.

Complicated rooflines, modern details that require a bunch of steel framing, excessively large great rooms, spa-like bathrooms, etc would push you into the $1,000-2,000 range.  

I looked up the engineer's resume and their "experience" was less than five years of designing new commercial steel office buildings for the suburbs.

Hi Steele,80% is possible but rates tend to hike up quite a bit, sometimes by almost a point.

One of the things I do is use an accountants steel ruler.

@Steve K.I would rather goto Vegas and bet on the craps or the slots .

Really nice backsplash, nice cabinets nice handle bars, but you didn't at least match the dishwasher with the other appliances (black versus stainless steel) and you use granite countertops?

I wanted to put a steel building up and they said I had to have a bathroom there and needed to have a fire hydrant within 2 miles.
