Comments on: Logical Homes-Making the Most Out of Tough Materials http://www.comingunmoored.com/2009/04/logical-homesmaking-tough-materials/ At last I had mastered the low art of coming unmoored. -- Joe Androe Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:22:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lee http://www.comingunmoored.com/2009/04/logical-homesmaking-tough-materials/comment-page-1/#comment-1794 Lee Tue, 27 Jul 2010 01:54:03 +0000 http://www.comingunmoored.com/?p=1358#comment-1794 I think either Logical Homes or the writer of the blog (or both) may need to re-do those cost-per-sq-ft figures... at $270,000 for the 640 sq ft version of the Aegean, that's more like $420/sq ft, not $156. And the 896 sq ft version of the Aegean, at $298,000, would come in at around $330 sq/ft, not $172/sq ft. Either we're dealing with some very poor math here, or it could be some marketing spin... perhaps Logical Homes isn't counting the cost of the foundation and their GC and architectural fees in their per-square-foot calculation. Certainly other custom home builders have been guilty of same, in my experience. Still, they should all realize that all the home buyer cares about is the final cost, which is how I'd figure cost-per-sq-ft, anyway.

I've witnessed a home like these being built in Redondo Beach, CA and it was remarkable. Keep us posted on any other news related to Logical. Thanks!
