I know "a guy" building an 18x24 efficiency, he bid $20K labor+materials for the job, figures that will be on the high side.
It's permitted; I'm told the shear walls and extra brackets add something like $3-5K.
Funny thing about the plans, they claim the gravel under the house is a lanai, so the project is roughly 1800 square feet "on paper", which would affect the valuation for a mortgage (or taxation). Plans are stamped by County, so this must be an "accepted practice".
