Nearly 2 years ago I sold my company and liquidated my entire material life to travel around the world indefinitely.

Materials cost is $2.50 sq ft and labor is $3.40 sq ft.

Can you break this into parts and labor so I can shop the building materials?""

In materials as widely used as drywall joint compound up through the middle 1980s.     

abatement of the material must be must be completed prior to renovation or demolition"at the bottom is saysmaterial - transite, siding, gray, non fibrous, and again it says that same thing.arv is 130k

Unfortunately, we found out about an obscure rule that says if you complete more than $1000 of repairs in labor/materials outside of work done by a licensed contractor, you have to wait a full year before you can sell or rent it. 

My favorite personal example is when my ex got a bill for $1700 to fix the tiny front porch railings, likely $300 in materials at most.. they never asked--- they tell you to jump, and you jump.     

Tha is okay though because the crew can start demo in one room and begin to store the materials inside if it is raining in a room they have already done and then move the materials to the dumpster once it arrives.After that, your GC most likely will ask for a deposit for all or the first phase of materials and can continue to require a materials deposit for the other phases.

I had all the classes (study materials don't replace classes) but no actual experience. 

I know of some people who are building new in the $70 range but the materials used will not last quite as long and the finishes will not command higher rents.
