How much does an ADU cost?
There are six (6) major variables that affect an accessory Dwelling unit’s construction cost:
-Home Size
-Location
-Design
-Lot cost
-Utilities and fees
-Production & Repetition
All of these things conspire to raise construction costs to as much as $100.00 per ft2 more for a small house over a bigger one. Fixed costs per home, such as city fees, design fees, tap fees, and impact fees are essentially spread over fewer ft2 and the individuality of each backyard home means production building methods cannot be employed. Each small home has bathrooms, a kitchen, a furnace and air conditioning system, all the most expensive fixed costs in a home.
It does also depends greatly on the location. construction costs in rural areas as well as some states are as much as 50% less than others. All in all construction costs cannot be quantified in a general fashion. Each situation is unique.

SE Florida living
I became a Florida resident soon after Ponce de Leon left, since he couldn't find the "Fountain of Youth".
Actually, I moved to Palm Beach in 1955 to open my dental office.
I had two loves. Dentistry and real estate. I earned a Florida Real Estate Broker's License in 1979. Syndicating land, building professional condo buildings, and buying rental complexes kept me involved in real estate.
Retired from dentistry in 2000, and full time real estate became the focus of my efforts.
I work as a buyer's agent, and have no listings, so nothing to sell.
Anyone who would be interested in moving to the Palm Beach County area, I can be your real estate advisor, at no cost or obligation on your part.
Visit me on my web-site, and you will learn all about our area, and have the ability to read every newspaper in the State.

Building for Boomers:
Guide to design and construction
The day has finally arrived; our book is now officially published. Judy Schriener and I have had our heads immersed in the details for the last several months, capping off more than two years of research and writing, and now it’s time to step back and review our work. Although there have been radical changes in the housing market recently, those changes must be viewed in the context of the powerful changes the Baby Boomers have been responsible for over the last 64 years since they began to come upon the scene. And they aren’t done yet!
We reviewed our work late in 2009 to see what had changed in the marketplace that we needed to include in the book and found only the obvious; the market for housing was dangerously depressed, and yet the dreams and wishes of Boomers hadn’t changed. Yes, new home purchases are being delayed and smaller homes may be considered, but the housing preferences of Boomers have not fundamentally changed. We acknowledged the extraordinary market conditions but felt our book was solid in its reporting on the lifestyle choices of Boomers.
You can find the book on Amazon.com and other national retailers. You can also go directly to the publisher, McGraw-Hill Construction. We hope this book will find its way to reference shelves in Architectural offices, in Development Companies, in Schools and on your bookshelf as well.

Hello
I just joined this group.Where is the manager? Not a lot of posting going on here, let's write something..
Sharing the Secret
Anyone shopping online, I know that I have found myself doing more and more of my day to day buying on the computer. Once I got over my concerns with security issues and have become more comfortable using the computer, I have found it to be a very convenient way to make my everyday purchases.
I was recently offered an invitation from my grandson to join a free shopping reward program called Aisle19. After viewing all they had to offer I decided to become a member, since I was already making monthly purchases from many of the same sites that are offered within Aisle 19. It just didn't make sense to shop anywhere else. The best part is I am now getting paid cash back for what I was already doing, shopping online!
The only catch is you have to be invited to become a member of this program. That is why I am here as a new member to invite you to take advantage of this cash back opportunity. And like I stated earlier it is 100% free of any fee or future obligation to join.
Another unique approach offered by Aisle 19 is that you can actually login and view all that is available within your online shopping mall prior to filling out the membership. They are so confident and proud of all they have to offer, the truth is they just can't wait for you to take a look.
All you have to do is go to there website @ view link and sign by using the username ( demo ) and the password ( demo ). And if you are like I was and it just makes sense and would like to become a member, just go back to the original sign in page and select the ( Join Now ) tab at the bottom of the page. Enter your personnel invitation # ( 168072 ) fill out the short membership page and you're on your way to earning cash back. It is that easy. I just wanted to share this bit of information with all of the other computer savvy seniors out there that are looking to save on your monthly spending.
Enjoy,
Irene Fox
