We are strongly leaning towards having an experienced ICF concrete company do the basement work. The house has 2x6 inch 16" OC exterior walls, and every joint is screwed and glued. I have seen enough of the shotty stick built houses, not to have any faith in them, and they cost a fortune. How much should we expect to be able to negotiate down the house price?
Negotiation is tricky A long time ago some family members and I decided to have a modular home installed on a lot that we owned in a rural part of Wisconsin. The alternative was to wait much longer to get a "stick built" house done and probably not get to use it the relative short window of the vacation season. The folks that sell modular homes know this and if they also know that you are not happy with stick built homes they can basically ask and get you to agree to "list price".
Best bet is to negotiate on things that you are willing to compromise on -- maybe they will throw in some extras if you let them pick foundation contractor or give you a deal on upgrades if you agree to their schedule instead of your preferred time window As I recall local authorities had to verify certain aspects of hook-up to utilities and that took a little extra time to schedule Thank you for the reply. One of my concerns is the basement. They are of course wanting to handle pouring it, but they seem to be trying to cheap out on it.
They resisted my demands for thicker walls, didn't want to put any insulation on the outside, and just use a tar like material for waterproofing. A concrete guy I talked to, is proposing to insulate it like crazy, and use bentonite for better water sealing, and I know he does quality work.
I don't know if I am missing something, he is mistaken, or if he is just trying to jack the pricing. North Beach Person. That tar waterproofing has been pretty standard for decades. Put in the basement you want. I would suggest putting in the basement you want and using the guy you want. I'd also strongly suggest getting your own financing. When dealing with modular suppliers, they assume that you have lousy credit and most often are working with B and C paper notes.
