Letâs take the example of a car whose sticker price is $34,000. To buy it, with a 7% four-year loan and a down payment of 20% ($6,800), your payment would be $650 a month. However, if you were to lease instead, you would pay a one-month refundable security deposit and your payment would be $450 a month.
The cost per square foot of a 2000 square foot single story home can be half again as much as the cost per square foot for a 2000 square foot story and a half or two story home.But the cost to construct could be very similar.imber frames live larger and can often be smaller than a conventional home because there are seldom hallways and are no bearing walls. Weâve seen timber frame homes built from $150 to $350 per square foot, but donât be drawn into the âcost per square footâ conundrum. Itâs really smoke and mirrors.
They do not include the cost of a drafter, an architect or structural engineer. The square metre costs provided will be an average cost based on the costs of hundreds of houses. One standard timber frame house might have cost only $1100m2 while another may have cost $1800m2, with the average being $1450.When you multiply the number of square metres you need by those square metre rates, the difference is significant, so add or subtract from the average depending on your inclusions.The easiest and most accurate way of calculating building costs is to let the professionals do it for you.hen you multiply the number of square metres you need by those square metre rates, the difference is significant, so add or subtract from the average depending on your inclusions.
