Australians use similar construction techniques to USA, retard. And most Aussies have air con
>>
>>539936000
that's maybe $50-100k for materials and labor. you're really paying for the cost of land, which is inflated by excess credit availability.

>>539936000
I 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

How many of those do you build and sell every year? What's the profit margin after all your taxes, fees, materials, and labor expenses?
>>
>>539936000
Now 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.

Post pics with timestamp of one of the houses you build for 50-100K worth of materials.

Well 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.

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.
>>
>>539936203
Because trees never get rained on.
>>
>>539936000
So? Dont like it? Build your own, goymer.
>>
>>539936000
you 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.
>>
>>539936438
exactly
the kikodemons only give us what we beg them for
people actually pay fortunes for those shit houses, even extending into future liabilities

The issue is they're poorly made wood houses. Bad quality 2x4 nailed together for posts, etc etc.

Do you see any bark still protecting that lumber from the elements

>>539936307
I’m in the industry nigga. Direct price of raw materials is 15-20% of total costs

You pay mostly for labor and overages. Most of that is guys saying “uhhh, that fridge install will take 4 guys a week”
>>
>>539936470
So 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?
>>539936517
So 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 industry
Cool, 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

have 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%.

So 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 land
So 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.

>>539938362
in your own words, explain to me the difference between net margin and gross margin. now tell me how lumber, for instance, factors into both.
>>
>>539936000
i 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

>>539936000

why are they so allergic to bricks?
>>
>>539936872
wrong. every person i have worked for figured the cost of materials needed and multiplied it by 2 to cover labor.
>>
>>539939032
They're fiberglass typically unless you live in a trailer. Airplanes are also made of fiberglass.
>>
>>539942652
Bricks are more expensive, less convenient in every way, worse insulators, and similarly get wrecked by storms/earthquakes. Sorry your ancestors annihilated your native forests.
>>
>>539936872
Raw 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.
>>
>>539942652
We 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.
>>
>>539939520
It looks like shit kek
>>
>>539939520
yeah we can tell

>>539942652
Mutts have local codes that made concrete building unbearably expensive.

this rots before its finished. you then live in a fungus rot house. very nice.

Treated wood, rotting? Surely you jest. Stay in your lane Hans, you don't know anything about the real world.

tornados are not that scary, the chances of it actually hitting you is incredibly low.

I know. I live in it. We've had 15 within 10 miles of the house this year. Got some pictures of the closest one a few weeks back. But they suck because it was dark.

>>539936388
It will last 30 years, while a mediocre brick house will last 300.
