Did they pour concrete all over the plumbing? That scares me. My house has a crawl space under the floors and the pipes are exposed.
Pier & Beam?I haven't seen new Pier & Beam homes built around here in my lifetime, While my home is Pier & Beam....It's over 100 years old.
if you aren't in the building business, best bet is to stay away from it.. I live in SWFLA, my extended family is in the home construction business( mostly in Marion County now ) and I know they would not touch it unless they got it for the price of the land and nothing else. FWIW there are two houses on my street that the builders stopped working on, One of them is unoccupied and it construction started on it in 2010... there is another one on my street that one bonehead started building5 year ago ( I met him a couple times, more I talked to him the more I knew he didn't know the difference between his butt and a hole in the ground) and it has since changed hands a couple time and still isn't finished so its worth saying if you aren't involved in the business you have no idea what sort of mess legal and otherwise is involved in this sort of thing. It probably has liens on it from previous people who did some work and didn't get paid, it probably has cloudy title too.. I wouldn't touch it.. the Floriduh building business is full of con artists and knuckleheads who are in over their heads, don't join them.View attachment 158510View attachment 158511
Greetings and Happy Memorial Day,
We are thinking about putting an offer on this house and property. My question is, what do you all think it would take to finish out this house?
Facts -
1 story
4 bed, 3 bath
2500 sq feet
Foundation and framing are complete
Rough plumbing is complete
Windows and doors installed, minus garage doors
Septic and well are installed
And that's it. No electrical or interior anything.
What do you think is a ballpark estimate to finish this? Including the grading and paving of yard and driveway. I thought maybe around 100k, do you think it could be closer to 200k? Assume regular grade materials inside and nothing weird or fancy.
I welcome all opinions.
Thanks
Pete
most Floriduh houses have the plumbing in the slab.. not too many have crawl spaces anymore.Did they pour concrete all over the plumbing? That scares me. My house has a crawl space under the floors and the pipes are exposed.

For the last 30 years or so the vast majority of homes in southern states are built on a slab or full basement. Breaks can occur but it's extremely rare and the slabs don't move.Did they pour concrete all over the plumbing? That scares me. My house has a crawl space under the floors and the pipes are exposed.
I did that in the last home I had built (in Florida, the bug capital of the U.S.) and the only bugs we ever had were spiders. It also helps stop termites. I just used 20 Mule Team Borax.Can't tell you about cost but before sheetrock goes up do a major dusting of Boric acid around every inch of the perimeter so it is basically covering the base framing. Also put some under the threshold plates when they're screwed down. Bugs pretty much will not cross Boric acid. Except for spiders. Those demons will still come in. Did that in a Houston suburb and in a couple of decades only saw maybe 3 or 4 roaches in the house where most houses have 3-4 a month coming in. Good luck.
You must live in NW Florida. I remember seeing that house listed when doing a Trulia search for the Pensacola/Milton area.View attachment 158510View attachment 158511

Is that a cinder block foundation? You gotta get a foundation company out to evaluate the site and the foundation.View attachment 158510View attachment 158511
