Any contractors or home builders on here? I'm looking for some advice, or anyone who may have experience with Viceroy homes or Jaywest in Calgary?
Im looking at building a house this summer, and found myself looking at the viceroy prefabs. They kinda appeal to me over a modular, as I can order the package to just get me to the lockup stage, and allow me to finish the interior at my leisure. I am not a framer, but used to do drywall, insulating etc, and have friends and family that are tradespeople for the rest. I'm looking to do as much as I can myself to keep the costs down.
I was just curious if anyone has any experience with these viceroy homes? Are they a good value for what they cost? This is the model I was looking at :
I like the fact that all the design and engineering is included for any changes and modifications you want to make, for both the house and basement structure, and that when it is delivered, everything is there, no running back and forth to town for stuff. And everything is panelized, so it goes up pretty quick. Also, the materiels seem pretty nice. All plywood, no osb, hardyboard siding, decent asphalt shingles. I have got a price quote from them for the package, and would like to know if it is comparable to going with a builder. What does it cost roughly a sqft to bring a house like this to the lockup stage?
