| Re: New Home Construction - How big should the A/V room be? OK, scratch the 1080p. I don't think I want to consume that much of my budget on the video.
As for the construction costs I'm not counting that since it's part of the new home I am building. Since I'm still negotiating with a couple of builders I can still make changes to basic structural elements pretty easily. I've attached a drawing of the house plan I'm starting from. If I need a foot here or there I can increase the home size or steal a little space from the kitchen/great room. Construction costs are about $55/sq. ft here so making the home a little longer or wider wouldn't be too expensive. By the same token I can make it a foot shorter and have about $600 more for something else. That's why I'm trying to 'right-size" the room. |
