22.9 millions for 117 homes? I can make 2000 houses with the same budget. You have some problems in Saskatchewan.
It's just under 200K a house which seems pretty reasonable for mobilizing construction crews, materials, and potentially infrastructure for 117 homes.
If you're gonna build me a quality home for $11,450 (22,900,000/2000) with electric/plumbing/sewage/natural gas/internet service I'd be happy to buy some off you!
Don't know where you got the idea that houses are super low cost things, but I'd do my best to immediately buy any newly built home for 200K. That's like the cost of a permanent parking spot in some Ontario cities.
seems like a decent price for Saskatoon homes
I don't think housing would be an issue right now if we could build homes for $12k a pop!
You are absolutely smoking crack
What kind of dwelling do you currently live in? Need to know the square footage, heating type, have AC?, etc.
That sounds like an outlandish claim. Have you got certified designs and budget documents that show us how to do that? Wait, better hang onto that stuff as a trade secret so you can be the next billionaire and hero to those who struggle to afford shelter.
I would like to see anyone say that they live comfortably without a kitchen, especially if they aren't in a financial position or location to easily use/afford restaurants/Uber eats/etc.
I lived in a boarding house for a while, so no personal kitchen. It was okay, and good neighbors was critical to that.
In a sense it's just roommates you don't choose.
Hundreds? π§βπ³ π€π
Looking at the breakdown, the variation in cost per unit makes me think that there is more than just the cost of the shelter itself. Remote areas, new service connections, etc must play a role in overall costs.
Even using prefabricated designs and or shipping container modulation you canβt even get services and or foundations done for less then $10,000.
On top of this there is usually a well and septic tank needing to be installed. Thatβs all dependant on depth and environmental precautions to be in place to set the tank and well up.
You can build for $11,450 a house?
Can you build me one for that?
Can you sign a contract so the price is guaranteed?
Besides being in Kentucky, at 21,830 CAD that's almost twice the price that you're suggesting.
Thatβs without services, shipping or anything else.
Okay but that's still almost 1/10th the price we're paying now.
22.9m for 117 homes is $195,727 per home. Almost $200k per home.
Which sounds about right?
I mean that's not what I would call affordable, but okay.
So is that a no to all three questions?
Can you show the class your work please?
Look at their answers above, this person means to push them into lightly furnished cargo containers and thinks theyβll spend the rest on a casino.
