I think I've posted something like this months before but I probably wasn't specific enough. Anyway, I have a chance to sell my 16,500 sq foot complex for way more than what I paid for it two years ago and have been agonizing as to whether to go thru with it or not.
This place is wonderful in many ways, 1997 construction so still pretty much like new, zero leaks, 22 foot eave height, loading dock height floor with dock, 480 volts 3 phase, etc.
But it's over 30 miles from the house and the travel to and fro is getting a bit old. The county this is in is still a bit depressed, so I doubt much appreciation in the future. Also property taxes are outrageous. Would be thousands less in Beaufort county even if building appraised at twice as much as here.
So, I should probably sell it and build something much closer to home, but part of the decision is just what could I build with the money I will get from this sale. (and FWIW, finding a suitable existing building in Beaufort, SC is flat zero possiblity...well ok, under 30,000 sq ft and for less than a million bucks anyway)
As such, anyone have any WAG on the following-
*80 x 120 foot (9600 sq ft) metal building with appropriate concrete floor thickness for up to 30,000 lb forklift traffic (forklift weight not capacity)
*22 foot eaves height
*1,000 sq foot offices and bathrooms (seperate men and women, 1 toilet/sink each)
*Loading dock (dug out type) with 12 x 12 rollup door
*Ground level rollup door 14 x 14
*3,000 sq foot interior space via seperate wall
*Office and 3,000 sq ft space full HVAC
*600 amp 3 phase
*20,000 sq feet of asphalt paving
I'm sure I'm leaving out something..if so, point it out. And of course the WAG would be exclusive of the land. And it varies by locale, permits, etc..but that's why I said WAG. Thoughts ?
(and before anyone says "talk to a contractor"...I can't get a straight answer out of any of them without actual plans. Plus I can't trust their guesses as they tend to guess on the optomistic side just to get the business...I need worse case senario)
