RESIDENTIAL SQUARE FOOT BUILDING COSTS

 
   
 
 
 
         

ECONOMY

       
This class of residence is constructed to meet code requirements and to provide adequate accommodations. There are no special features that make the residence attractive from the exterior and the interior finishes are minimum. These residences are usually square or rectangular (box shaped) with dimensions focused on easy and simple installation. The windows, doors, kitchen cabinets and plumbing fixtures are clearly inexpensive and installed with little concern for appearance. The quality of workmanship is indicative of inexperienced workers with minimum professional supervision. Emphasis, during construction, is placed on speed of completion. These residences are constructed from stock plans.
