the article on contractor quotes is, no pun intended, right on the money. even if you agree on a price, you need to factor in a cushion of, at minimum, 5 to 10% before all is said and done.
Link to Daily Intel –> furthers that article’s misrepresentation of the stats. It is average wage of job in Brooklyn that is lower than other boros not average wage of people living in Brooklyn.
the building in the brooklynian thread kinda looks like 880 bergen, sort of wrong location though
