Next he'll ask about the Rav4 prime shortageThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
There was a shortage of 4" drain pipe this time last year. Wonder if they have caught up. I don't mind, because I got commercial grade for the price of residential.

In the middle of a build also. Some things have been delayed weeks to months. Lumber, window wells, now hardie board delays on board and batten materials.
Already added 2 months to the schedule.
Hardie just straight-up quit making trim for a while there last year, not sure if they restarted production. We got some of the last batch, luckily.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Excellent. This probably explains that a bit. I've found it so hard to get this information. Guess I will plan for a 2023 move in date.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Some contractors are just substituting LP Smartside trim (engineered wood), which may be acceptable to you if it matches the look of your Hardie. Can't speak to the board & batten situation, sorry.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Can confirm. Exterior was supposed to start but don't have enough trim or battens for that matter.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I had debated for so long about taking on the general role for the build. I feel as though I should have, I think I would have been in a similar position with progress anyway. I know how much more the time commitment would be though.
As an independent GC, you have no sway or leverage. Some smaller GC have the prospect of a few more jobs to finish out the year. You don't have that. You only have payment as a leverage on started work, but if the contractor hasn't start, you got nothing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

You are hitting on the exact reason why I hired a GC. I didn't have any trade/supplier relationships here like I do have out east so I knew it would be a tremendously long slog to make it happen. That and it's amazing how many little jobs get missed by trades that the GC then has to go take care of. It can absorb a tremendous amount of time.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

What's the estimated construction cost? Normal pricing is 10-15% above cost. If it's a 400k build excluding the lot, then yeah 40k is fair.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
