How would I be able to (ballpark)estimate construction costs in Miami Florida?
Any one have insight on costs per sq foot for midrise construction? Or software that gives accurate numbers?
[{"id": "gfcoc94", "text": "Midrise meaning 2-3 stories like townhomes? If I am flat out guessing here, say 200-250 psf for normal finishes. I'm seeing a lot of new construction coming out for sale in the 450 psf range, factoring out land value and a chunk of profit, I think 200s is right. I can't imagine it's much less than that.", "replies": [{"id": "gff8iln", "text": "Usually higher, mid-rise is like \\~5 to \\~15 stories. It actually depends on jurisdiction because often contractors are limited by license to the number of stories they can build. I believe in Florida, a regular general contractor can only build from 1-4 stories, anything higher requires an enhanced license.", "replies": [{"id": "gffiiq0", "text": "Even still, new construction luxury  condos in miami are coming out in the 700 range. so 300s then?", "replies": [{"id": "gfflb2b", "text": "Not sure, My guess would be higher than 300. I feel like the economics of taller structures is different, the finishes actually comprise a lesser portion of the costs than they usually do for shorter structures. Especially in a place like miami where there are a host of issues that are unique to miami like hurricanes, a high water table, etc which increase costs beyond what you would experience in most places.", "replies": [], "depth": 4}], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
