Well, all my SIP bids are out. Getting good communications with the SIP providers. Price ranges from 38k up to 80k total. I will probably come in around 68k installed.
My sticker shock was Zone Three Impact resistant windows. Quotes are coming in between 65k and 70k... just as expensive as the SIP panels and roof!!!!
Took a day off and went to the Outer Banks of N.C. and toured two homes of this same floorplan. The link to the photo album is: http://thesharpes.smugmug.com/?preview=1
Saw things I liked and some I didn't. Got to meet the owner of one house and she provided some good insight on her home.
Key areas she focused on that she did different than the floorplans:
- Widened dining room
- Made kitchen windows smaller to support more cabinets
- Widened rear decks by 8'
- Added screen porch to bedroom #2
- Added steps from rear top deck to bottom deck
- Added a front door to the ground floor
- Added a return vent on the 2nd floor for HVAC
- Added some additional cans to the ceiling for lighting
My changes would include those above, plus:
- Additional bathroom to bedroom #4
- Reduce size of bedroom #2 closet and widen bath #2 to accomidate Hadicap access
- White trim and more color
- Improve kitchen layout (currently too small)
Spoke to the piling installer and he's quoting material plus installation at $75/piling. That's coming out to be 60 x $75 = $4,500. Much better than I originally budgeted.
My first excel pass is almost complete on material and labor. Looks like I can get the house foundation, pilings,shell, windows and doors for around $120k. Siding and Roofing is being estimted now. I'm researching if I need faring strips and additional OSB between shingles and SIP roof. I read yes, but the suppliers are saying no.
More to come.

Well, this is the first month of many I'm sure with building a beach home.
Synopsis of home:
- Location - OceanFront, North Topsail Beach, NC
- Floorplan - SpinDrifter from Florez & Florez Coastal Designs
- Key elements = Reverse floorplan, elevator, three master suites, one bedroom, 4 1/2 baths, cathedrial ceilings, screen porch, large front porch, two rear decks, impact resistant windows, doors, 70' deck to beach.
- 3,100 sq. ft. heated,
- 538 unheated (below flood plain)
I've accomplished a few items during my planning stages:
- Floorplans, architect and requested changes
- Construction methods (SIP)
- Budget sheet developed and being filled in based on sub input
- Proposed start date and end date (October 14, 2008 - closing date - May 22, 2009
- SIP bids out
- Getting quotes from subs
- CAMA, NTB permits requested and process
- General contractors lined up for assistance and consultating.
Many hours have also been spent on researching the Engineering and Coastal Codes for North Carolina. Luckily, I'm familar with the building codes and local contractors as we built a house down there in 1996, and have many contacts with the locals.
I've also found this is a good time to build as the coastal area is dead right now for building and the contractors are needing work. I've also picked the winter as rental property is cheap if the subs or I need to stay a few days to a week.
I've included photos and floorplans of our build.
More posts to come on SIP.
