Building the Dream Home, Affordable DIY Steel Frame Homes

CHAPTER 14: THE MATERIALS SHOPPING LIST

This materials shopping list is an abbreviated example of the items necessary to transform a FrameUpNow skeleton into a finished home. A materials shopping list is produced and available for every FrameUpNow ADU and Affordable home and every custom designed home. The complete materials shopping list includes every illustrated mechanical, electrical and plumbing schematic requirement as well as other essential details. The items necessary for completion of the home, such as flooring, cabinets, siding, wall board and more, are enumerated in the abridged materials shopping, available on the FrameUpNow site for download. Take the list to Home Depot, make your personal choices, and price the items to determine the investment required to finish the home to your taste.

Have it your way:

• An individual with DIY experience can do most if not all of the erecting of the skeleton and finishing of the home. • Another approach is hybrid; DIY individuals and skilled trade contractors can each do what they do best. • Some individuals may choose to use a general contractor for all stages, from slab to finished home. Either way, the construction of your home, from beginning to end, is predictable and easy to manage and costs are containable.
