Looking at purchasing a property that is a double duplex - 4 units, however the suites are not legal - electrical/heating is shared between the two units in each duplex, etc.  It would be a huge project to bring the s...

There is no good branding surrounding an illegal enterprise.

I'd like to implement RUBS (ratio utility billing system) for electric/water/trash, but it's illegal for electric in my area. so that leaves me with either the expense of paying the electric bill, again, assuming that the cost to rewire separately is prohibitive. 

Labor for framing also is a small portion of the man hours involved in a total house.You would also need to take into consideration plumbing, electrical, hvac, trim, drywall, cabinets etc and etc.Not saying it cant haopen in the future but I would think robots performing all thise tasks is in the future a ways.

Denver eyes turning off natural gas, requiring all-electric new buildings in climate pushDenver wants new construction in a few years to be “net-zero energy” buildings that use only electricity from renewable sources, slashing city greenhouse gas emissions.The plan, and the building code changes it calls to have phased in starting in 2024, doesn’t explicitly ban future construction from hooking up to natural gas, the fuel used to heat the space and water in nearly all Denver buildings.But it does call for requiring new construction to use all-electric heat and water heating, first in homes and then offices and large multifamily buildings, and then require enough new solar power with development projects so that new buildings in Denver after 2030 won’t use any energy from fossil fuels.Denver’s Net-Zero Energy New Buildings & Homes Implementation Plan, produced by the city’s Climate Action, Resiliency & Sustainability office, will be the subject of hearings before a city building code task force this summer and then City Council hearings later this year.The plan phases in requirements for all-electric systems in new construction, described in one goal as having new buildings and homes be “free from natural gas” by 2030.City climate officials, when asked, didn’t identify any role natural gas could have in future new buildings.

That way you aren’t making an illegal exception to your rules that could get you in trouble in the future.
