Our houses are mostly terrible quality but they are bigger than yours

Yes we really do make them out of wood. No there are no bricks or blocks. Thats not as bad as you think factoring in the climate differences

That's crazy markup, I made my mom new cabinets for her kitchen much nicer than those last year for only a couple thousand.

Well that's assuming they aren't lying about how much they paid

snownigger trying to comprehend advanced construction techniques

Michael?

Modern houses are ugly.

Advanced lol. We are only a couple of decades past sub saharan african wood reinforced mudhuts

Imagine all the "Live, Laugh, Love" chotchkies you could fit into almost 9k sq feet.

he probably means millwork and that includes all the closets, 87K for a kitchen sounds ridiculous

we

show flag, my fellow confederate warrior

At least I can put my totally new technology american v8 in the garage!

Every time I watch American real estate shows on HGTV, I'm shocked by how insane the construction costs are in the U.S. Every single stage depicted in this clip costs so much that you could afford to build an entire house in Poland, including the plot, and made from proper bricks, not that wooden crap.

Fuck it bro, we got to milk these rich people for anything they got
What got me though was the $80,000 for siding and then the motherfucker shows vinyl

HVAC 61k

What in the holy fuck is that, 4 or 5 split ACs cost like 4000 at most.

Who the fucks builds a cellar with wood?

It's fine as long as the exterior walls are concrete

its sad all the labor tradesmen put in for a 'look what i bought insta post'

this person really has no skills other than spending money

this woman will buy an endless stream of shit from amazon and never be happy

goods cost more in a first world country with high salaries than a third world country with low salaries

Wow!

Why is everything like 3/4 more expensive than it should be?

nothing about this makes sense.
1 acre lots are extremely expensive still at 45k dollars.
foundation is like the least expensive part of construction.

61k for hvac

86k thousand for electric

60 for plumbing

70 for drywall

FUCKING CABINETS WUT
FLOORING WTF

Also

lumber only 110k ish

How the fuck is everything so fucking expensive, but the lumber and framing construction is the cheapest that makes zero fucking sense.
lumber and framing is the most expensive part of any job.

Are those dollar amounts in Chinese yuan? Why de numbers so big? 86 grand for painting???

Imagine running into your mom on Anon Babble

they're including labor, tradies milk home buyers. did you see $81k for paint?

they're supposed to do that

Oh well. The losers will happily do it all for this person

including labor

Illegal labor is not that much, 4 split units can be installed in 2 to 3 days, that's 500 dollars per worker (3 days x 8 hours = 24, x 20 dollars the hour = 480) you need two of them so 1000.

tradies milk

I do not know what this is, trade union fee? they are illegals, no union there or at least a legal one. And even if there was i don't see the big hike in the final numbers.

That's the irony, many american goods are cheaper anyways, you just get fleeced in construction for some reason.

Advanced is using concrete. They're even doing it here in place of bricks.

one short circuit and the whole shit burns down

Advanced is using concrete

Brickwork is more advanced than pouring concrete, brickie

Seems expensive but what do I know

Illegal labor is not that much,

they wanted it done right
Your people work hard but don't work well

I do not know what this is, trade union fee? they are illegals, no union there or at least a legal one. And even if there was i don't see the big hike in the final numbers.

It's

oh they're going to watch me while I work? Extra 10 dollars an hour

oh they're building in Texas coming from california? They can afford an extra 50 grand then

And that's really all it is.

they wanted it done right

Do you really, really want me to believe any construction work in the US is done "right" as in by locals?
Get out of here, all work in the contractor field in the US is done by illegals or former illegals, the difference from one another is the ones with papers will charge you 5 times as much for no undisclosed reason because they don't pay taxes either.

Meanwhile Swedish homes get blown up by grenades lol

Watching all those prices made me sick to my stomach. Even owing $10,000 seems to take forever to pay off, how the fuck can anyone reasonably look at numbers over a million dollars and think that's a reasonable price to pay for anything. That's your entire life you have to commit to just endlessly paying off loans until you die, that shit will never be paid in full in a lifetime. What a nightmare.

And that's really all it is.

That's just jewery, the crew i was in never did that. I believe it tho.
lol entire neighbors of yours go to the sky with minor gas leaks

Troll numbers, the paint part gave it away.

get attacked by bees while wearing mostly white

trying to swat them away

lol

wood

advanced

They just don't worry about it. People are built different. My dad told me w couple weeks ago to spend a quarter of my annual on credit cards to float an SUV payment because my family deserved it and money would come if I just got after it.

It's insane honestly. I wish I had that mindset.

drywall: the finest hand crafyed gypsum, pressed by artisan craftsmen from Palermo
tip: 25%

That's just jewery,

Yes. For plywood and drywall no less

the crew i was in never did that.

was your crew "the company" charging the customer? New builds are often like this because there's bank loan money to buff it, but renovations are something homeowners can negotiate or look for another contractor.

Foundation, cabinets and landscaping are borderline robbery
Rest is fine

over a quarter million dollars to dig a footing and pour the foundation

Excuse me nigger what????

advanced

The whole reason for this glorified IKEA-build is so you can have Pablo and Enrique "assemble" the whole thing.

, all work in the contractor field in the US is done by illegals or former illegals

this is an anti-labor meme meant to justify open borders
there are still crews that aren't brown and actually do things right
they are more expensive though

Cop partner closes car doors when he sees him approaching

Tries to flee in reverse while his buddy falls to the ground while being molested by honey bugs

All on public television cameras

This is beyond insane though, assuming the people building the house are just normal income Americans the addition of mortgage interest, repair costs, taxes, insurance, and what ever else will put the final paid off total over $3 million. That's like having to come up with the money to fully pay for a $60,000 vehicle every year for fifty years. Even for people with decent jobs that pay a lot that's ridiculous.

HE does look like a remote piece of land
Houling material is what ramped it up

You're not laughing at him being locked out of the cruiser by his partner? And his partner backing up to get a better view of him being stung to death?

Or maybe you white retards can't build anything of value?

drywall guy will fix it

was your crew "the company" charging the customer?

That's a good question, frankly i think it was a front company that worked as an outsourcer made by the company owner to sidetrack properly if he got caught, we even got SSNs from who knows to get debit cards.
Our chief got like 27 or 28 dollars the hour and he was a "real" employee so perhaps only the owner pocketed most of it, we got 18 to 20 the hour.

Excavations and foundations are always the most expensive part of a building

You like to pretend like you know anything. Go ahead, call a few contractors and get bids. Or even learn how to do any of these things yourself.

Weird cope coming from someone living in sticks and drywall.

paintjob

worth a year of income

do they really?

this is an anti-labor meme meant to justify open borders

Justify? if anything it's the biggest proof something is wrong. In the southwest i never saw a normal american civilian in construction other than the real engineers who didn't care about anything but the finishing details like stonework or cabinets.
I did see white people but they were former prisoners who did meth or pills, so not normal civilians on my definition. No niggers, one chinaman but was also a former convict.

they are more expensive though

I bet, honestly never saw a mostly-white crew and we even joked about that, nobody did

You're going extinct

That’s why you buy an excavator, use it for all the site work, and sell it when you’re done.

Plumbing, electrical, and even HVAC are things any normal person could figure out how to do with a little research. I wouldn't consider these to be true skilled trades in the sense that they require substantial practice to get the job done right like drywalling or fine woodwork. Those prices are insane, there's no way the material costs are even a quarter of that.

that's actually really cheap, when was this filmed?

I've only really done small time residential framing. But shouldn't the frame be boarded progressively as you go up stories?

This house

8200 sq foot

Average house in Poland.

1400 sq foot.

Thanks for the defense, you dumb piece of shit

cabinets: 87.000 Dollaridoos

This is ragebait, right? Nobody is THAT stupid.

What celler?
that's a rare thing on new houses here

Cmon man its clearly retrieved wood from flooded HomeDepo shitwood section

most rich people just want to brag about how much it cost especially if its an investment property.

people who work in tech are

yes absolutey, this is what happens when your foreman pedro doesnt get his plywood on time. only a retarded mexican world frame the second storyvlet alone the roof. i cant believe i didnt fall down without wind.

So are you.

n-no

Cope.

The construction/contractor racket in this country is insane. Dumb nu-boomers think their time is somehow worth 100 an hour, and they'll always run at least double any quoted work and expect you to simply pay whatever they ask.
Protip: for an investment into basic power tools any white man can build a quality home on their own. Don't pay someone else to rip you off. Even if you waste material making a mistake it's cheaper to do the work yourself. And because it's your home the outcome will always be better.

yuropoors and a mexican trying to comprehend what "advanced construction" means

NGL that's an ugly house.

lumber and framing is the most expensive part of any job.

You have no idea about construction. It is interior finishes that are the most expensive aspect of a house. From drywall to the cabinets and countertops, tiling, fixtures, etc. That is where all the money goes. A basic shell of a house with cheap and effectively the same between all houses whether cheap or high end. It is what you do inside that makes all the difference.

no metal roof

kek

I brought this up in a thread before. Americans have weird HVAC systems. Condenser coil outside, blowers in roof. No sub units in ducting. It's fucking weird.
In Australia we have a double stacked slimline reverse cycle inverter outside, which connects to a master blower in the roof and individual sub blowers for each room, while the Americans as typical decide to heat / cool the entire fucking house at once regardless of individual room preferences. This explains that whole "don't touch the thermostat" meme. Because they have one global temperature controller. Rather than civilised countries with modular systems

yeah he got absolutely ripped off
i did price checks in israel recently
i have to be retarded to reach that sum
and these don't even look that nice

how

Because they value it for a million. Houses are generally an appreciating asset too, so it isn't losing money just holding on to it. If they don't want it on the future they sell it and clear the debt.

Richfags really do live in a completely different reality than most people
Then those little kids grow up thinking they are the "normal" ones
Then the cycle keeps repeating till you have modern society

Houses in North America aren't meant to last more than 75 years, usually not even 50. It makes more sense economically to simply rebuild a home rather than try to maintain it through the centuries.

Disposability has it's upsides. Our homes are bigger than yours, more energy efficient, more spacious and more modern.

The euro mind simply can't comprehend a society having enough excess productivity to afford the cost.

All that being said the owner in OP's vid got scammed lmao. I could see deficiencies in the walk through. Never trust spics to build your home.

Okay... but until it's paid off you aren't holding on to it and the bank is fleecing you in interest payments. You've taken out a +$1000000 loan, do people not realize the interest that comes with that. You're devoting essentially your entire life on sustaining payments on a big wooden box and some land. I know people are going to call this fox and the grapes or something but it's not, at these prices home ownership is a waste of all your time. As for appreciating assets, unless you've got money like Blackrock to buy properties in a single transaction you aren't getting ahead in this game.

non-american/non-white

well, if you wanna get really fancy with the cabinets and the counter, it can skyrocket pretty easily, yeah
construction and remodeling is like that, the price ranges can be wild

contractor -> subcontractor A -> subcontractor B, all of then charging at least 30%

why are the NAFO eurolibs so uppity today?

Drywall

Depending on where you live, bricks aren't sustainable.
There was a quake in Kobe, Japan back in the 90s that still killed over 5,000. They're supposed to have some of the highest earthquake regulations.

dirt costs 261k

Estonians used to be Mexicans of Finland, then Polish and then Bulgarians or something. They always find cheaper and more drunk Mexicans somehow.

lmao mad lad locks the door and drives off
