whos had a house framed recently?

[autogateman]

When getting a price on framing a house and they give a per square foot price, is that only living area or porches too? My house is 1710 living, 464 front covered porch, with 470 rear covered patio. house is off the ground, so the front porch has a subfloor, but rear patio is ground level. So the rear patio would just be doing a roof basically. Any help on the subject is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rod

They figure entire square foot. Raised house usually cost more to frame, because they have to frame the floor also

ok thanks! should 5.25/sq ft cover siding installation also?

When they frame, they sheet the exterior walls, roof deck hang exterior doors and windows. Tar paper the roof and tyvek the outside walls. Also strip the boxing for your siding.

Not real up to date on prices other than totla building cost, but 5.25/ft sounds cheap to me, especially if they are blacking it in and not just framing. Dont forget all the minor stuff like you buying nails or them (some nailguns are expensive to feed), hurricane straps, etc
