I didn't quote any $ Desertboy. Our Snowbird "Off Road" is part way there - it is made with real plywood and oak with decent appliances - but what stands out is the workmanship where wiring and plumbing is run and supported neatly where you can't see it, and how the upholstery is finished and the caulking... like someone cared for what they built. In the paperwork was an "enjoy your new Snowbird" paper with the signature of all the factory people that worked on it.
Snowbird/Snowriver - Mr. Bob Meher passes away in 2013.
But back to your design - will it have proper high fuel efficiency radiant heating and a heat recovery ventilator to control humidity? And tracking solar panels? And a properly insulated floor? And stairs you don't fall off? And a water treatment system?
