    This document provides a cost estimate for building a 200 square foot monolithic slab foundation and small exterior structure. It estimates the foundation will cost $2850 including excavation, concrete, rebar, gravel, and finishing. Framing is estimated at $3800 for lumber and plywood. Insulation costs are projected to be $3100. Exterior finishing such as siding, roofing, windows and doors are budgeted at $2600. The total estimated cost before overestimating and sales tax is $9840.

    A 200sq ft monolithic slab has a rough DIY cost of $5 to $7/sq ft (Hi-end cost = $7 x 200 = $1400)

     Budget: $1400 + assume 7% more cost for safety = approx. $1500


     Finishing: Assume $100 “unbudgeted costs”

    Grade/Excavation:

     12’ deep (1ft) excavation + 1’ lime + 4’ gravel + 6’ of concrete = 5’ exposed “grade” (130mm)
     Footing is accounted for in all math (monolithic slab)
     500sq ft (460sq ft + waste) of 6mm polyethylene barrier below (continuous), laid before aggregate
     Digging is DIY free, barrier will cost under $100

    Concrete

     10’x20’, monolithic, 6” thick, with 12” footing (monolithic)


     Volume of Concrete: 3.70 Yards
    How many pre-mix bags
     40lbs Bags: 333 bags
     60lbs Bags: 222 bags
     80lbs Bags:167 bags
     At $6.50/80lbs bag Canadian dollars per bag = $1100

    Rebar

     14x Bars (1/4” diameter) 9’-6” Length


     8x Bars (1/4” diameter) 19’-6" Length
     Spacing between each bar along the grid length/width: 1' 6" Length & 1' 4 5/16" Width Grid Size
     The size of the rebar grid, accounting for the edge clearance. 19' 6" Length & 9' 6" Width
     At $18 Canadian Dollars per rebar length = $400

    Gravel fill (Aggregate Mix = Coarse: Crushed 1/4’ and less, Fine: Dry “coarse/fill” sand)

     10’x20’, 4” thick/deep
     2.74 cubic yards / 3.5 US tons / 3.18 metric tons / 3175 kg
     For gravel (dry, 1/4 to 2 in) with density of 105lb/ft³
     2.47 cubic yards / 4 US tons / 3.63 metric tons / 3629 kg
     Above = For gravel (with sand) with density of 120lb/ft³
     At $240 Canadian Dollars per yard = $700

    Finishing of foundation

     Finish surfaces, Sides of slab sloped to prevent moisture sitting/raising = DIY free
     When set, clad in R10 ci (ridged foam), top and ALL sides (bottom to top, even below grade)
     When set, clad top surface in r5 ci (rigid foam) and mount four 4”x8”, 1/2 inch plywood on top
     200sq ft R5 ci rigid insulation & 60sq ft of R10 ci rigid insulation
     At $28 Canadian Dollars per EPS Rigid Insulation 96Inch X 48Inch X 1.5Inch (R5.65 ci) sheet = $100
     At $45 Canadian Dollars per GPS Rigid Insulation 96Inch X 48Inch X 2.13Inch (R5.65 ci) sheet = $350

    100 + 100 + 1100 + 400 + 700 + 100 + 350 = $2850 Monolithic Slab Foundation Costs (with built-in safety $$)

    Exterior Framing

    (You will need about 50 pieces of 2x4, 10ft long, 20x sheets of 4ft x 8ft plywood ½ inch, also)

    Framing, how to estimate lumber needed: (assuming: $12.75 per 2x6, 10ft long / $7 per 2x4 10ft long / $44 per 4x8 plywood ½”)

    Budget: My estimate is roughly 145 pieces of 2x6 lumber, or $1750 worth ($2000 with 15% waste)
     Multiply the total wall length (in feet) by 0.75 (for 16-inch on-center stud spacing).
     Add three studs for each 90-degree corner.
     Add four studs for each 45-degree corner.
     Add two studs for each wall intersection (where another wall abuts the wall you are estimating).
     Add two studs for each opening that is 5 feet wide or less.
     Add one stud for each opening over 5 feet wide.
     Multiply the total count by 1.15 to add 15 percent for waste.

    2x6 budget of $2000 + 4x8 plywood budget of 1000 + 2x4 budget of $800 = $3800 Framing Costs (with built-in safety $$)

    Insulation costs (Full R-60, pure in roof/additive R-40+ exterior wall/R-12 Sound barrier in bathroom interior wall)

     850 sq feet of R10 ci rigid GPS insulation = $44 Canadian Dollars per 32sq ft sheet, Need 9 sheets = $400
     R12 (Sound barrier, bathroom) = $25 Canadian dollars per 78.3 sq ft bag, Need 2 = $50
     R40 = $133 Canadian Dollars per 48 sq ft bag, NEED 13 bags = $1800
     R60 = $87 Canadian Dollars per 32.6sq ft bag, NEED 8 bags = $750
     Vapor Barrier will cost roughly $100

    400 + 50 + 1800 + 750 + 100 = $3100 Insulating Costs

    //

    Exterior Finish

     Might as well add the main & bathroom vent fans, both solar = $200 (and “grill cover” all over ventilation areas)
     Siding, 20 pieces per carton 200 sq ft per carton at $250 per carton, Need 3 = $800 (Abtco Cedar Creek D5D Pine)
     Roofing, Charcoal Laminated 3-Tab Shingles, 33.3 sq ft at $36 per Bundle, Need 8 = $300 (GAF Marquis WeatherMax)
     Flashing + soffits + various “trim/grill” bits, exterior light hardware = $300
     Exterior door = FREE (if you can not find a free door, check swap & buy/sell sites, easily under $20 at most. May need to
    paint it)
     2x Egress (loft & bathroom), 40.25 inch x 22.5 inch Hopper Vinyl Window Top Hinged (7sq ft each > bathroom) = $500
     2x 30 inch x 24 inch Sliding Vinyl Window with Frame & Screen (5sq ft each, + 7 sq ft = 17sqft > main room) = $500

    200 + 800 + 300 + 300 + 500 + 500 = $2600 Exterior Finish Costs

    2600 + 3100 + 3800 + 2850 = $12350 Canadian Dollars (sales taxes included, slight/10% over estimate)

    Before over estimate = $11115

    Before sales taxes = Approx. $9840, AND we still have over estimated materials by an average of 7% (under $200 mind you)
