I've been browsing the board and Sayers site and came across this layout. I was just wondering what the building cost if it was from the ground up (much like Len did).

you should assume construction costs to be at least equal to building a quality home (in terms of cost per square foot). In TN this may be around $80/sq ft. If I had to guess, if you estimated $90 per square foot, plus another 25% for wiring, hvac, lights, fixtures, etc, you'll probably have an OK bottom-end estimate. obviously labor, finish materials, permits, etc will all play a role... http://www.mtsu.edu/~berc/msei/pdfs/meiwin03.pdf http://www.get-a-quote.net/QuoteEngine/ ... roFrameSet
