Question

Wenyu Zhang · Answer

I'm running the same situation now. How did it finally go?

Christopher Hopstock · Answer

That definitely seems high.  In general, it's a good idea to get at least 3 bids for any service that you need done.  Good Luck!

@Marian Smith that does sound a little high but depending on what services included it could be that much. I'm not in the area but I did recently bid on a project in Texas and have done a bit of work down there in the past. The numbers below would be my best guess at where things would be based off a recent project I bid down that direction. It depends on the city on what engineering is required and if an engineer or architect is required. You may be able to get away without some of the following.

• Civil Engineering-Drainage/Utilities/Tank $10,000-$12,000
• Site Survey $3,000
• Geo-technical/Soils Engineering $3,000
• Mechanical/HVAC $3,000-$4,000
• Electrical Engineering $2,000
• Structural Engineering $4,000
• Architectural $15,000-$20,000
• Landscape Design $5,000

It adds up quick.

I know a lot of metal building are done down there. They are definitely a cheaper alternative but not the most attractive option. Some areas you may not be able to build a metal building based off of zoning requirements. I would recommend getting prices from other groups to compare pricing.

Hope that helps. Good Luck

That is insane!  The excavation should be included in that price.  How many acres is the entire plot?

That sounds crazy high to me.  I know that building houses in some states is only a few thousand for all that work, a garage should be easier I would think!
