Hi fellow diyers,
I'm new here, but I came across a good opportunity to start a business, except that the building has been gutted by vandals looking for copper piping. The space is about 2400 square feet.
It needs a new HVAC system because the enrien system was ripped out by the Vandals.
The list of work to do is below:
HVAC: none existing. Needs two new units
Roof: minor leaking noted from pitched roof
Electrical: .All has been gutted. Walls need to be exposed in some areas to reach electrical to patch it up.
Potential code violation:. It looks like an interior wall has been put up against an exterior wall and window . The space they created used to be a courtyard area
Plumbing: .No plumbing exiwexis
Landscaping: need to cut down several trees, clean up brush. Pave parking areas, need to pave about 10 parking spots
Windows: 15 windows.. All are either broken or boarded up, out of date and old. Need to replace all windows
The agent says he's confident it will only take $30,000 to bring this building back up to speed, but I'm budgeting closer to $75k. Any thoughts on where to start and how much this all might cost?
I'm going to get some repair estimates but I feel kind of overwhelmed by how many repairs we have to do!
