Could you remind me who did your foundation? I got the "bethesda-chump-fleecing" estimate of $144k for a 30x40 foundation and slab and was like, "yeah, sure, thanks."

Yes, we used Green Village Concrete, http://www.villageconcrete.com/
Tell them you were referred by Chadsworth Custom Homes. I'm interested to hear if you get a more reasonable estimate. 144K for 30'x 40' is crazy.

My quote was very broken out, and the footings, slabs, etc, were all reasonable, and then there was "walls" for $95k. I know there's about 12k worth of concrete (6 trucks) and about 3k of rebar. SO they were trying to fleece me a lot on labor and form rental. I was not buying it.
Thanks. I'll look them up. (ps: I noted your more extensive concrete and pricing and used that as a benchmark. I also had my neighbor's job who had 20 some 35' deep pylons as well as a bigger foundation and it was way less than 144k
