$4k in Concrete Foundation for a two-story addition

This time I'm building a home addition with a JADU as an owner builder for only $200,000
Hey everyone! Here's what it takes to pass the forms inspection when building a two-story home addition with a JADU. I spent $4,000 on the concrete and $46,000 on labor to frame the entire building. My strategy is to purchase all the materials myself, which means spending a lot of time at Home Depot. I pay the contractors only for their labor. This approach is different, but it has worked for me in the past, and I'm using it again on a larger scale.

Hektor, great job at showing and explaining things for a ADU. I am in Southern California and I am learning a lot watching all of your videos. Hopefully, soon I will be able to built a ADU in my backyard. Thank you appreciate you

[@themanimal01]

LOL ,👃neighbors. Come on, nobody wants to purchase a house that hasn't gone thru the proper channels. Especially in this ridiculous priced market. Great videos.👍

[@scottc.6409]

Hector, what a great project!! Nice video.

[@HektorCastillo]

Thank you Glad you enjoyed it

[@maxslomoff]

thanks hekk~ btw, you say at the beginning you spent 4,150 on the foundation, but at the end you mention 20k for the form~ the math isn't adding up either on your final budget slide where there's about 4k of the 28k unaccounted for - if you ever get time would you drop the full breakdown in the comments?

[@DanielShin-g7j]

Hey Hektor. After the concrete is poured, when do you take off the wooden panels (forms and stakes)? I've watched a lot of videos but they always skip over it and don't show the whole process of removing the lumber that is used. Thanks

[@gchris0079]

Your videos are incredibly helpful and truly inspiring! You always do such a great job. Thank you for sharing your amazing content!

[@623phoenix1]

How much was it to get owners builder permit. And how long does it take?

[@Khanh.Nguyen369]

Neighbors act like they own the place. I’ve had neighbors walk into my back yard and take photos even when I’m home.

[@chrisemch1]

Hektor 4k for concrete including labor ?

[@HektorCastillo]

Only concrete. Labor to frame the entire addition was $46,000

[@Ichiu562]

Holy shit!!!!! Thats alot​@@HektorCastillo

[@surafelkebede5130]

4k labor only ?

[@HektorCastillo]

For concrete. Labor to frame the entire addition was $46,000

[@rcmen231]

Thanks for the info

[@user-ik2dc1yb9k]

Are you saying labor to frame the foundation? or framing for the entire wood on the entire project? @@HektorCastillo

[@HektorCastillo]

@@user-ik2dc1yb9k to frame the entire project.

[@Hizenbird]

Do think that given enough time YOU could have framed the foundation? I’m assuming also that when you say framed it you mean including adding the rebar and the hold down? Or do you just mean the wood framing for the concrete?

[@anthonyflores9336]

I don’t like your click bait title. It’s misleading considering all the extra costs and permits and certificates you needed.

[@HektorCastillo]

Anthony hello 👋, All the fees are at the end of the video 👍 including permits, materials and labor.
