Hi,

I am thinking of building a small 1000 sq ft cbs construction guest home on a plot in GGE. I will build the guest home first and have my dad live in it then eventually build a main home on the same plot. Can anyone give me a estimate on what that might cost for a very basic no frills home? I heard 2 story would be more economical and I would be open to that.

Thanks for any input

NO idea, but that is a great question and I'm interested in seeing if anyone responds.

I can't give an estimate of cost, but 15 years ago, we considered building a large garage/workshop with an apartment upstairs and living in it as a stopgap until we could build our "dream home". We ended up just building a nice house instead.

I still wish I had the big garage!

IIRC, it would've qualified as a guest house if I built another structure on the lot. There was a sq ft limit, and 1000 sounds like it could be right, but it was a long time ago!

GGE is 1000 sq ft minimum. A guest house can be no larger than 40% of the main house. If you build the guest house first, the main house will have to be 2500 sq ft.
There are ways to do a smaller house if 2500 is too large for you.
