We are slab on grade and the slab is engineered. If there is a second floor, we used engineered floor trusses. So I'm not sure what the values are but the engineers are handling that.
@@wshaw1288 Not all of it. Only the non-typical things like ERV, make up air damper, ERV controllers, buttons, and grilles for ERV. Stuff like that. The HVAC guy gets the normal stuff like air handler, condenser, ducts, etc.
@@ScottTrue Thank you so much for putting this together. Would you be able to put a detailed video together on your HVAC details? Would truely appreciate it. Learning a lot from you as I am getting ready to break ground on a few Spec's in Waco, TX soon.
@@chunkymirchandani2615 I plan to do this. I'm having a little difficultly getting away from my work to do video. I thought it would be easier! But I am going to try to get back into it soon
I'm not sure it would be useful to state a price per sq. ft. because this fluctuates constantly. The bottom line, though, is that a builder that is including high performance details (details that I think should be normal) is going to make several thousand dollars less than a builder that has a poor weather barrier, no flashed penetrations, etc.
Price per sqft is a really terrible metric. A home in the shape of a square will always be cheaper than a home that has many bump outs and odd shapes. Both can be the exact total sqft but one will cost a lot more.
Very useful, thank you Scott.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
THANK YOU SCOTT!
Thank you Scott!
Thanks, Scott! Have you built CBS shells with a monolithic slab? How do you think about insulating this type of build?
Hey Scott, do you ever have any availability for phone consultations?
Yes! check out dimorahomes.com for more information
#scotttruebuilds where do you source your Polyiso you use?
What deflection values on your floors do you plan floor? Are you going over min. code?

Why do you order the ERV online vs getting it from the hvac contractor?
My HVAC stuff is not the typical stuff that HVAC companies use. I have found it easier to get myself rather than allowing mistakes to be made.
Interesting. So are you buying all the hvac equipment online?

Around what price per sqft does it cost you?
