re: How to figure sqft framing costs

quote:

There are two houses to be built with the same square footage. One has a roof with 8/12 and 10/12 roof pitches with multiple slopes and 10 and 12 foot interior ceilings. The other has a 4/12 gable roof and 8 foot ceilings. Why would a framer agree to do both houses for $6 sq ft? I wouldn't

I didn't say anything because I haven't hired a framer in 16 years but I paid $7 and change (something like 7.25) for it then. I can't imagine a framing sub doing the simplest structure for $6 a square today.
