crazy house

Thought you guys might like to see a couple of pics of the plans for a house we're gettin ready to start, 37,000 sq ft, 15 different roof pitches, radius rake walls, all perched on top of a rocky desert hill top had to sign a non-discloser just to see the plans.

Re: crazy house

Pretty sweet project to have, I envy you. How the hell do you price something like that? It seems like if you don't do that sort of thing all the time, there is no way to know what to expect.

Re: crazy house

Wow...

How many pages of structural drawings came with that? Better yet, what was the architect smoking when he came up with that design? Looks like a cool project though. You'll have to update us with pictures on this one as you go along. I'd love to see how this gets framed.

Re: crazy house

The design reminds me of a house built on the HGTV show "Dream Builder's" a while ago. The show should be called "nightmare builders" IMHO.

Rusty:

Hope you are on a T&M basis, I don't see any way you could bid that house. I'd say about 25 to 35 million?

Re: crazy house

You would think that the ONLY way you could get a materials list for that house is if the CAD program that it was drawn in creates one itself. I'd go nuts trying to figure materials on that sort of project. Isn't it bad enough that we've already had one Frank Lloyd Wrong?

Re: crazy house

pretty wild eh? the pics hardly scratch the surface of whats in that house. your right Bill, the first thing i asked was if there was a cad produced material list, it looks really thin tho so I get the task of checking it(who's gonna check me? lol)we are pushing a cost plus setup but the builder really wants a bid. I normally turn in labor and material numbers to my boss and he does the bidding. But I dont even know where to start, I don't think theres two TJIs in the whole place that are the same lengh
and heres a kicker, most of those roof planes are also ceilings, using the bottom of the TJIs. so they will have to be laid out for a bazillion IC cans.
I will be taking plenty of pics (up until my breakdown at least)

Did that say you could post the plans on the internet?

Re: crazy house

OOPS! I'm in trouble now. Actually it asked not to disclose owner, location, dollar amounts involved or any of the other subs involved, and I'm fairly sure nobody in this forum will plagerize(spelling?) the plan.
actually I've had to sign those on a couple of house we've done the most stricked was for a guy who wanted all his WINDOWS to be COMPUTER OPERATED hint hint

Re: crazy house

What a cool project. Can you disclose the architect? I'd love to see their website or other completed projects.

Re: crazy house

here are a couple of pics of a house designed by Guy Dreier that is similiar to the crazy house but not as extreme. hmmmm.

[Dick Seibert]

Re: crazy house

Rusty:

Dreir's work sells for over $900 a foot, what a privilege to build it, I hope you are the builder and not just being used to build it.

Here is an example of his work.

Rusty,

You may want to take a look at those pics. I belive you can see the owners name on http://rustynail3.com/crazyroof/crazyhouse3.jpg . Would hate for you to get in trouble before the project even starts.

P.S.
How do I change the hyperlink text to say crazyhouse3 or anything shorter the way Dick did with "work" above.
