I have been to the California one... as a guest  I did not pay.. so I did not sit through each module but it is somewhat like a fire hose.. you start at 8 am and go to mid night each day.. there is one speaker after the other teaching you all sorts of different things.. much of it very detailed Like what a square of roofing should costs etc. 

Measurements are approximately 7 foot 6 x 5 foot 9.

Ended up paying $35 a square foot for the the house.  

These people sound like the kind that will take a foot if you give them an inch.  

I am building some specs right now in Seaside and part of our marketing is we are above the Tsunami zone.Although if its a 600 foot wave like the article talked about we would still get wiped out as we are only about 150 feet above MSL.

But I had to put my foot in my mouth several times and have sounded dumb many times... but the more I do it, the better I feel about what I have to offer. 

Rough $$$ per square foot for construction and what the breakdown is between payment to GC and payment to subs.2-3 storiesPretty standard multifamily, not a lot of bells and whistles.Thanks a lotRay

., for example, recent conversions slated are to remove 158,000 square feet of office inventory from the Plaza/Midtown, an area that's become a popular urban address for younger people who are looking for apartments, says Dennis Bradley, principal at B&A Architecture in Kansas City, Mo.The conversion to apartments is occurring after the owner tried for two years to find a single-use office tenant to occupy a 60-year-old office building that is now being converted into 101 apartment units, including eight two-story penthouses.Meanwhile, the losses of office inventory are expected to stir more ground-up office construction and leasing activity in other office buildings, the CoStar Group reports.Source: "Office Today, Apts.

In my market, we pay $1.10-1.25/square foot for rock and finish.
