Barrelhorses,
Also check in to SIP panels (structural Insulated panels). I checked them out last fall at one of the home shows, and I think that will be the route I go when I add the 900 foot addition to my lake house. Their price sheet for a 2560 sft house (sides and roof) shows $24900. And they can usually put the house together on your slab, on blocks, or basement walls, in about a day to 2 days (depending on how complex the floor plan is). SIP's are panels (up to 28 feet long) with a layer of Styrofoam sandwiched between 2 layers of OSB. So, you can get the ceilings already insulated at an R-28 or R-34 insulation rating. A 10 inch thick insulated floor has an R-64 rating. If you're intertested, check out Precision Panel - Advanced Framing System - SIPS - Structural Insulated Panels, and the floor plans at New Frontier Building Systems - SIP Kits, Hi-Velocity HVAC and HEPA Air Exchangers . I tore my old garage down over the weekend to make room for the new addition, so I"m getting closer to "git'er done".
