How can I start a residential construction firm? I’m currently majoring in accounting at a top 20 university. When I first enrolled I knew that being an accountant was not my primary goal, merely an education that would leave me most flexible in the business world when I graduate. As my classes continue toward my junior year I’m faced with choosing what type of business to enter. I like the idea of residential design and construction. The various aspects all interest me and I can see wonderful economic growth opportunities once I’m established. This leaves me with a question of what I need to do to enter the field to start and how to build my early reputation. I know that being in an industry with your ears open to people interested in leaving their niche can offer opportunities for growth once established, but I don’t know the first steps to take to begin. What would you all suggest as the steps while I’m still in college to prepare for a career in construction, and my early steps to start the business itself?
Know of anyone interested in investing in a residential construction business? I am starting a residential construction business in SE NM and West Texas. My partner and I have been doing research on getting this business opened for about 8 months now. We have come to a huge roadblock. $$. We have been working with HR departments of various companies around the area. They have informed us that they have a strong need for housing. One company that is new to the area had 67 employees in Jan. By Dec they want to have 200. Thus, there is a huge demand. My partner and I have asked around and decided that we would start by offering an 18% return. FYI on our backgrounds - I have 10 years experience in residential construction. 5 hands on and 5 in management. My partner is more on the tech/accounting side of things with about 15 years experience. He will be managing our website and handling the majority of the accounting/books. Anyone interested in learning more, please contact us via our email address - michaelbradleyhomes@yahoo.com.
Can I get out of a residential construction contract? I am entering into a contract with a builder to build a new home in a new community. I am worried that although I secured my financing already, what if something happens between now and when the home is built, and the bank will no longer give me a mortgage. Can I get out of the contract?
What is the per square foot cost for new residential construction in NE Florida? I want to build a simple 2000 sq ft bungalow in St Augustine Florida. By simple, I mean real simple and I would do all of the finishing including all fixtures, flooring, painting, etc. All I need it a slab, frame and roof and wiring and plumbing. Contractors quote me between $175-$225. sq ft. Does it really cost $350,000 for a slab, four walls and a roof during this "recession"?
What is the current average cost per square foot for residential construction in California? OK let me rephrase this for the person who answered question one. Of course the cost is labor, labor plus materials, but I'm looking for the average cost, meaning the incorporation of many areas in California, divided by the number of areas used=average. I'm in Northern California, not "sheep butt, California", but Humboldt County. Thank you to those who answer this question seriously. :) I own the lot, so I'm looking for the average cost or going rate in Northern California for new construction. Thanks :)

Who do I contact for unauthorized construction / auto businesses in my residential neighborhood? Everyday I am faced with the torment of loud sawing, compressor machines, banging, yelling, and other types of machinery used in their private businesses. They have no business permit as there the law states that no welding, construction, or auto mechanic shop is authorized in a residence. Please help me as to who I can contact in my local district or state. I live in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY. I am constantly waking up to their noise and have to sleep to it.
