@ling51 not much cheaper at all, definitely worth doing a full basement. It was only like $3500 cheaper to do a crawlspace, so we decided to just pay the extra $3500 for a full basement and get an extra 1,020 square feet out of it, it was kind of a no brainer for us

@@NotTelling51 I mean even then, the cost increase to go from a slab to a full basement definitely seems worth it.

one thing I would like to ask you. I have always found it difficult to accept the idea of running the utility lines under the concrete (especially footings and other sensitive areas). Have you considered running the lines in a way that would allow them to be buried deep and insulated and enter the sides of the house in locations where they are needed, but at the same time allow access if something goes wrong? Or is that something that building codes prohibit, do you know?

Thought about it, decided to go the more traditional route for my first ever project of this scale. It may also have complicated some utility entrances for my specific layout. There are probably a couple other reasons I am blanking on, but overall it certainly could have been done to save a couple grand on footers and block.

Lowes! HD actually had them listed for like $1.30 a block but it must have been a mistake in their system bc the pro desk wasn’t able to order them. They still printed me off a valid quote however, and i took it right over to Lowe’s where they have a price match policy and they were forced to match it. And got free delivery! I should also note that both of these particular stores get their block from York Building Products who has a block plant directly next to them, so that majorly cuts their shipping costs.

Some of these prices may have gone up but some are actually lower now because this was still in the worst of the post-covid material spike. I was really selective about the suppliers for everything, researching multiple for each item and only purchasing the lowest priced. My price for CMU was pretty lucky, HD had it listed on their site for like $1.65/block but out of stock (likely an error), I took that price to Lowes who had to match it for their block which was like $2.15. A complete package from a supply house would have been much more, found that for lumber as well

Yeah and people used to build their own homes all the time. Hell you used to be able to order a home from Sears. My grandfather and grandmother built their first home back in the 50's which was this size. A self built homeowner doesn't have to be as good as the best in all trades. They need to understand what needs to happen and hire out accordingly. The issue is that he should have paid a little more for the slab pour. That extra money would have gone towards the concrete guys relationship with the plant to guarantee prompt delivery. I just hope he took core samples of the concrete. He ordered 4000 psi? who knows what came in those trucks...
