Pricing by Asheville Framing & Building

Pricing in Asheville is another area to consider. Being balanced and not overcharging or undercharging is the key. When is the last time you complained about a bid being too low? Subcontractor companies submit low prices daily and sometimes it is up to the General Contractors to check them and mention that you want the job to go smooth and you want to make sure they have enough money in the bid not only to start the job, but to complete it as well. Honestly, Asheville Framing has sometimes completed jobs and left with nothing but a good reference. No profit and no hope of compensation. This means that there was some complication with the plans or on the jobsite and it ended up costing us our profit and then some. For example, we have worked with Contractors that have given us a set of plans with a 7/12 pitch, and then when the trusses are delivered, the roof somehow changed to an 11/12 pitch, and the Builder did not want to pay a dime extra. Accurate plans mean accurate pricing. Make sure you have the true scope of work on paper or it will lead to pricing problems in the future.

Framing can cost anywhere from $4 - $12 on residential projects, and anywhere from $5 - $25 for commercial projects. Our average simple homes usually cost $4 - $7 a square foot. Our middle range homes usually cost $7 - $9 a square foot. Our high end homes usually cost $9 - $12 a square foot. Our company needs to have an accurate set of plans or a basic set of plans with all changes noted to give you a firm fair price. Asheville Framing & Building does not promote "the lowest prices" because everybody who has been in the business knows that you get what you pay for. They provide accurate, fair, detailed pricing that is easy to understand. Some framing companies say $5 or $6 a square foot for all homes and then they end up running out of money in the middle of your job because they did not charge enough. Everyone loses in this situation. The General Contractor and the Subcontractor working together and being fair about the skill needed and time involved in a project is always necessary for the success of both companies. Asheville Framing & Building works with this in mind. Let us take a look at your plans and come up with a fair, detailed bid for your project today!
