+ tip
hahahah
>>539936000funny you weren't spamming this during the heatwave
>>539936110Australians use similar construction techniques to USA, retard. And most Aussies have air con
>>539936000that's maybe $50-100k for materials and labor. you're really paying for the cost of land, which is inflated by excess credit availability.
>>539936000I always laugh when I see a building framed out like that and then it starts to rain for like a week straight. I mean it must be fine but if I were the one paying to get my new house built I’d be like wtf
>>539936000How many of those do you build and sell every year? What's the profit margin after all your taxes, fees, materials, and labor expenses?
>>539936000Now post ur mud hut construction in ur treeless wasteland.This would be $6,000,000 in Australia due to the cost of fine imported wood.
>>539936198>that's maybe $50-100k for materials and labor.Post pics with timestamp of one of the houses you build for 50-100K worth of materials.
>>539936000house of cards with wood cards
>>539936203Well you're only half wrong because I'm sure we aren't far off from the point where mutt houses melt into a puddle when wet.But not quite yet.But OSB gets moldy quick if wet.
>>539936323The edges blow out
Whats wrong with wood houses? I dont get it. The big bad wolf will blow my house down otherwise? Maybe in tornado area, yea go for concrete or brick but F4-F5 gives no fucks.
>>539936203Because trees never get rained on.
>>539936000So? Dont like it? Build your own, goymer.
>>539936000you know you can build your own house right? there are pages and pages dedicated to owner-builder exemptions for restricted building work.so you're either just lazy/incompetent, or are complaining directly about the price of materials and land.
>>539936307>you build i went to college. i work from home, i don't build them.
>>539936438exactlythe kikodemons only give us what we beg them forpeople actually pay fortunes for those shit houses, even extending into future liabilities
>>539936307>youstrawman gaylord
>>539936388The issue is they're poorly made wood houses. Bad quality 2x4 nailed together for posts, etc etc.
>>539936389Do you see any bark still protecting that lumber from the elements
>>539936307I’m in the industry nigga. Direct price of raw materials is 15-20% of total costsYou pay mostly for labor and overages. Most of that is guys saying “uhhh, that fridge install will take 4 guys a week”
>>539936470So you've never actually been in a building supply store IRL nor had an employee on payroll but you know how much it costs to build a home?>>539936517So if you can build those houses for 50K and sell them for 6 gorillion, why the fuck are you a seething poor bitching on 4chan at noontiime on a friday?>>539936872>I’m in the industryCool, so post some pics of the homes you've built for 50 grand worth of labor and materials.
>>539937450>direct raw material Let’s work on reading comprehension first
>>539937450have you ever had your IQ tested?>So if you can build those houses for 50K and sell them for 6 gorillion,the inflated cost of land is part of their cost of goods sold. the average builder makes something like 20% gross profit. lennar is publicly traded, they report 15.6% gross margin for Q2-26 and a net margin of 6.4%.
>>539937539So post pics of some of the homes you've built for 50 grand worth of materials then. >>539937792>a net margin of 6.4%That's about what building a house for 100,000 and selling it for 600,000 works out to.>the inflated cost of landSo you're in the building trades somewhere that a house lot costs half a million and you're building homes for 50 grand worth of materials? Really eager to see pics of this.
>>539936149At least plastic showers aren't popular here. God those plastic shower units are fucking ugly and yanky doodles just keep buying them
>>539936000Would be a shame if some random migrant started playing with fire in a corner there..
>>539936000I played Red Dead Redemption 2 and John managed to build his own house with three other people.
>>539936000>feed me with your houses, mutts!
>>539938362in your own words, explain to me the difference between net margin and gross margin. now tell me how lumber, for instance, factors into both.
>>539936000i built my own house for $40k worth of materials. go get a job building houses or a couple years and you can do the same
>>539936000Plus tip and tax and title fees
>>539936198you're out of your mind nigger
>>539936872no one says that
>>539936000why are they so allergic to bricks?
>>539936872wrong. every person i have worked for figured the cost of materials needed and multiplied it by 2 to cover labor.
>>539939032They're fiberglass typically unless you live in a trailer. Airplanes are also made of fiberglass.
>>539942652Bricks are more expensive, less convenient in every way, worse insulators, and similarly get wrecked by storms/earthquakes. Sorry your ancestors annihilated your native forests.
>>539936872Raw materials are 10-20% the cost of manufacture in almost every industry. Only retards and people who've never been in the business of making anything disagree with that.
>>539942652We dont use bricks because we dont have to. You would be building homes out of wood frames too, if you wouldn't have to import all the lumber.
>>539939520It looks like shit kek
>>539939520yeah we can tell
>>539942652Mutts have local codes that made concrete building unbearably expensive.
