I am sure I have missed some costs. I got a quote from a precast wall company for $30k installed, and $25k from the truss company. I basically doubled it for foundation, site work, utilities and interiors. I could do most of the utility and interior work myself.

I designed and drew up the house. I am a FL PE so I could stamp the drawings. Plus the truss company stamps their stuff; likewise for the wall company. I couldn't be the special inspector though.

So George, as an architect what do you think about this:

A little more $ than block but 'better'.

And super, I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't giving loans to people with excellent credit history and income help stimulate the economy? Why make it harder for qualified people to borrow money?
