I am experimenting/learning to do an estimate. I have Holt's book on estimating and am playing around with ideas in the book. I'm most familiar with residential, but have a fair amount of commercial experience also, so I'm starting with estimating an imaginary residential project.
Feel free to critique my attempt!
The imaginary house is your typical 1600 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 2-bath single level house. Has a 2-car garage that has a 5kw heater. Heat source for the house is a propane furnace (common where I'm at), with A/C, electric hot water heat, electric range. The house is located (assumed) in town, so minimal vehicle time.
I came up with the following bid for the project, $8,535.
This house would typically be on the market for ~ 250-275K in the part of the country that I'm in.
Does sound crazy high, crazy low, or just crazy!!
Thanks for you input and responses!
