re: Where to get a building estimate based off of house plans

Love it.

Curious about your property...is it in a neighborhood or on some land? Do you already have sewer/water/power access or will the builder have to handle all that stuff too?

We just printed the plan, drew the modifications on separate sheets, made a list of must haves (2x6's, crown, metal siding, etc), and talked to a couple builders-many where able to give us a cost per foot without too much effort. We didn't try to add anything after that initial contract. Once we had the one we liked, we drew up the contract based on that.
