Hi looking for extension in my existing home can you help us. looking for reliable contractor

[@ventureted]

Super helpful! Thanks! The building looks pretty straightforward, do building costs skyrocket if the design is more artistic?

[@DarrenTsai_]

Great question!! I was with an architect over the weekend and he mentioned, he is not good at estimating building costs and sometimes even gets feedback from contractors saying some of his design is unbuildable. I would say: probably - yes. Keep it simple unless you are going for some super luxury or high-end home. 🏡

[@ventureted]

@@DarrenTsai_ thank you sir!

[@CarlosMunoz-nv6ir]

I’m in the planning stage myself. I pretty much know what I want and I’m meeting with contractors to gauge the cost. You got to build a two story 1400 SQr ft home for under $300k. Were you impacted by the COVID supply chain issues and if so what was the cost impact?

[@DarrenTsai_]

Congrats! Where you building? Yeah - 1200sqft detached ADU. Sort of. My contractor said the cost of lumber was more expensive but I think he ate the change in cost because he didn't hit me with any change orders. The only covid supply chain issues were delays in materials. I want to say we bought something and we were tracking it and it was just in a cargo container in long beach port lol

[@ernestomytv]
