Hi.....I own a lot in St James...The Woodlands Park area. Building will begin in mid 2009 and I hope to be building. I looked at some of your homes and was hoping you would be able to put some prices on your work. I would be looking at 2200sqft plus |

Based on current prices and various exterior products you could be looking at $350,000 to $425,000 for 2200 sqft of living space. |

I would suggest you start the design process first. When you are ready to build look for a builder, or work with a company like ours where we design and build. |

Thank you Herndon, VA. It depends on the features you want for your home, prices can vary from $135 to $185 p.s.f. a lot of that depends on all Brick Exterior or Hardi siding. If you call me and fill out a Features & Allowance sheet we can be more exact on the s.f. price. |

Question |

My wife and I would like to know what the advantages and disadvantages are to raised slab over crawl space. Hardwood floors are very sensitive to humidity and I understand there is a lot of humidity in the Carolinas. |

Answer |

Moisture is the #1 element that can distroy hardwood floors. A crawl space with a dry space liner will allow for a minimum moisture. A slab will conduct humidity from the outside and allow moisture. A crawl space also allows for easy access to what is under the floor system. |
