Getting Closer

[CajunEXPRESS]

You're too negative

You probably right.

[fanof71]

Yes

That obvious? "But we don't do things like that around here"

From the administration, $45M is the construction cost. Total cost is $65M. Nothing has changed.

Thanks for the clarification.

$18 mill with an inflation rate of almost 10% (2022) is only $24 million. Anyone in construction? Is material cost literally still doubled? I don’t think so.

Ah ha, some sanity; it is nice to see.

I know lumber has came back down a bit. Not sure about steel. Labor is still ridiculous.

You're right about labor, and it's hard to get them to go work, even for higher wages.

Cajunfan3406, BeauCajun, Cajun4Life, and cjr3888 are the only guys that I know on this site who actually know about construction and what is going on with this project. Maybe some other folks on this site knows but when those guys post everyone needs to pay attention.

Yep. Other stuff may come down. Labor will only go up.

Labor currently holds the upper hand in the economy. Good capitalist aren’t going away and AI along with more versatile robotics will catch up and end human shortages.

I asked questions to the administration. If I can't get the answers, I have several friends that have donated $50K to 100K to the stadium fund. You can bet your backside they are getting some answers.

[HoustonCajun]

I got a copy of the agenda item from a friend. It does state that construction of the facilities is anticipated to cost $45,000,000, and the total cost of the project is anticipated to be $65,000,000. The Facilities are projected to be completed in 2025.

IF construction is $45M, what does the other $20M cover?

Destruction

[Million$Mullet]

Destruction

How much was the cost of voorhies implosion?

[HoustonCajun]

Destruction

Demolition and debris removal can't possibly cost $20M.

[BeauCajun]

Demolition and debris removal can't possibly cost $20M.

They’ll need to protect the integrity of the lower level. It’ll be a slow removal process of the upper deck.
