40%? So you think a big project builder would make $96k on a $235k Build? don't think so. At that end of the scale the price is more like 10% and if you owner built it you most likely don't have the buying power to get good enough pricing to save that 10% anyway. I can tell you 1 off jobs for...

my opinion is that if interest rates go up and we start to feel the squeeze, the new estates will feel it first and take longer to recover. I believe this is the case due to people buying there because they thats what they could afford and there would probably be large number that have 90%+...

It's only 2 small hipped roofs. So scissors or raised tie would be a nightmare to get to work properly and also to install especially when it comes to the girders everywhere... So really just want to increase the wall height and keep it as simple as possible. Basically I know I can...

Yeah it's just a development project. Aim is to increase the ceiling height to make the houses look bigger and obviously get a better sale price. 2400 ceiling are just too low these days. Don't really want scissor trusses as it either means a raked ceiling or bulkheads, both if which add costs...

Thanks for the help lads I don't think it's that huge. I can simple lower the roof pitch a degree or two to compensate for higher ceiling so overall height won't change much if that's what they are worries about. Also spoke to the drafty today, he said easy done as we are well under height...
