Right off the top I see that there were a number of things left out;
  • All closet doors
  • No overhead an profit for a GC
  • The drywall number seems low
  • My house is about 250 square feet bigger than this.
  • I have no French Doors.
  • There is no line item for the laundry connection.
  • The ductwork needs to be replaced.
I forgot the most interesting part;

Elevation



Raise House Slab 0-4'
2367 SF $52.27 $123,723.09


I wonder if the Road Home will do the work necessary for their estimate.
