Electrical Estimates

ELECTRICAL
Electrical costs vary by complexity of installation and region. Competition in urban areas will tend to drive prices lower whereas resort areas tend to be high. Log homes can be more complex than conventional homes especially if there are many log mounted fixtures and receptacles. Alternative methods and outlet locations (such as floor and baseboards) are often used.

Among the other items to consider are:

-Type of space heating
-Gas or electric appliances
-Distance from power source to house with overhead or underground service lines
-Additional electrical items such as alarms, intercoms, TV and phone wiring
-Outbuildings, well pumps, swimming pool

ELECTRICAL COST RANGE
$1.75 - $6.00+ per square foot of living area
Materials comprise about $2.00 / sq. ft. on the average installation.

PLUMBING - rough-in and set fixtures
Plumbing costs are usually a function of the number of fixtures. For example, a small cabin with many bathrooms could theoretically cost more than a large home with few baths. Generally, there are also the fixed costs associated with any home. These fixed costs include the sewer and water connections, and the basic piping. Additional costs accumulate with the addition of bathrooms and specialty fixtures.

Among the other items to consider are:

-Type of water heating (gas or electric)
-Is a hot water circulation pump needed
-Hose bibs and irrigation requirements
-Water well and pressure system requirements
-Specialty fixtures such and spas, bidets and hot water dispensers

PLUMBING COST RANGE
$2500 - $3000 for a small cabin
$4500 - $6000 for a typical 2-½ bath home
About 30% of these costs are materials on the average installation.
- Remember, these numbers do not include finish plumbing materials such as sinks, toilets and the water heater. See Aspen's Finish Plumbing Goods for these prices.

HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
The first thing to determine is what type of heating and cooling you will be using. Will it be forced air heat, wood heat, radiant heat or a combination of primary and backup systems? The type of fuels should also be considered. Gas, if available is often the least expensive in the long run. Since most new homes will have some type of central heating and air conditioning system, we've limited ourselves to this area. These systems are almost always sub-contracted to a heat and air professional. Costs can vary widely depending on the complexity of the home. Installation in a log home is usually no more difficult than a conventional home since ducting is done in the floor systems and interior walls.

Among the other items to consider are:
-Alternative systems such as pellet, wood or electric baseboard
-Multiple heating units - zone systems
-Alternative cooling such as evaporative or none
-Mandated energy related designs and methods

HEAT AND AIR COST RANGE
$2.50 - $3.50 per square foot of living area
About 50% will be materials.
- Resort areas may have higher fuel and labor costs.
