Hi Guys,
I'm new to this board and seems like many people here are well informed pros.
I'm currently in the process of bidding for an 8000 sq ft new construction in Chappaqua New York. There are 2 builders building the house to sell for about 3.5 million.
There are 5 bedrooms, 5 bath, living, dining, family, kitchen, extra room, library etc. all rooms are 10 ft high and doors and 8 ft high. Crown molding every where, egg and dart, elaborate trim work and finally the library ceiling and book shelves have to be stained. All other rooms are to be custom colors.
I think our team can complete the project in 2400 to 2600 man-hours and can come up with an estimate myself. However, any input from you guys in better estimating the job would be appreciated. Especially, if you could give me a price per sq ft of either floor or dry wall.
1. How do you go about estimating a job like this?
2. What would be a rough idea of dry wall area if the floor area is 8000 sq ft?
3. What would be the right price per sq ft (floor/drywall)?
4. Let's say 50 cents per coat per dry wall sq ft, how do you figure the price for painting the trims?
5. How does ""primer+2 coat + trim= $2.50 per dry wall sq ft"" sound to you?
Thanks
