Jim Wills - Your post is not at all helpful. I assumed that this forum was a place for contractors to discuss issues and share knowledge not a place for RCD to advertise it’s products. I am looking for answers not a sales pitch.

Royce -

You are correct! This area is intended for contractors to work together to resolve issues & discuss topics.

Please accept my apologies.

Thank you Donna - No harm done.

Royce,
Ball parking a number on an architecture and materials you’re not sure of is risky at best. Home work is the best path to a number. Best of luck with your project.

(not sure why my text is center justified, but, anyways . . .)

My approach would be:

- decide which specific geographic region your interested in (they vary a lot in price in SoCal!)
- browse Realtor sites for that area, finding homes for sale that more or less match your criteria
- create a spreadsheet of price vs. square footage
- create a graph, and interpolate as needed

. . . but I am a bit of a nerd.  : )
