Stupid Question About Building Prices & Quality
Stupid Question About Building Prices & Quality Please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
I've tried hard to search all the forums and gather prices, estimates, reviews, happy stories, horror stories, about people's experiences. But something still needs to be drilled into my head.
I'm mostly comparing to
A) Cost of a 'Mass' built project in Las Vegas (Toll Brothers)
B) My personal experience with host costs & building in France (Did an extension out of so much concrete it will last 500+ years, which is good as many houses there are that old (and my church is 800+ years)).
Am I correct in understanding:
If I want the same level of quality that I will get in the west, with a house that will *last* (minimum of 100+ years), it will either be unfeasible or significantly more expensive than doing the build in the west?
If so, why?
And as a backup question:
Instead of traditional brick & mortar, are there are alternatives that are either of better structural integrity or of significantly low cost that rebuilding is not a significant expense (PreFab/Knockdown, etc.?)
Thank you all.
