Okay, I posted this as a reply over on the square foot for new construction thread by 77401. But now I'm wondering what you r price would be on this.
*NOTE*: I just cut and pasted this from the other thread.
I'm bidding a burn out for a new GC. Apparently their other guy has been bidding by the ft/2, as they did not give me a print or total openings. The house has 4 beds, 2 1/2 baths, 2 car, 2 living areas - 3200 ft/2 They did tell me that it has 22 fixtures, 4 cans, 3 HVL, 2 water heaters, and a cooktop - double oven. Gas heat & 4 ton A/C.
I went to the site, total gut EXCEPT for kitchen and 3 beds (which just have the ceiling removed). Fire started outside on the back porch and got the master bedroom. New roof.
I counted all the openings (as most were still there) and added the ones that I know will be needed. I counted 62 recepts and 43 switches. And it has a pool!
The home was wired pre GFCI. So, upgrades are in orders. The upgrades for this house include, GFCI's, AFCI's, Smokes, and the service needs upgrade to 200 amps. (That is separate money to the insurance company.) Also, the AHJ here has Code amendments that require GFCI protection on all switches within 5' of a tub & shower, and a supplemental ground.
I'm glad that I went. Other wise, had I bid by the foot alone, I would have guessed on the recepts & switches, and not known about the pool. Also, I would have missed the upgrades.
I give them my price Monday morning. I had rather be too high and miss it, than too low and eat it.
I have $12,250 for the rewire, $2,180 for the code upgrades, and they supply the light fixtures and fans. What do you think?
