The only thing that is not standard, and needed to finish the whole structure, (while sometimes we include if requested) is: interior trim boards & interior partition walls!! (interior bearing walls included)

On a typical 2000’ home this adds just over a thousand bucks. Most of the 2x4s used for studs are of such poor quality (anywhere) that they are better purchased locally, with the bad ones returned locally. If we include them in the package, they will all be 16’(the quality is then much higher). Leave them for plate, cut in half for studs. Trim would be typically 1x4 and 1x6, and could be routered to taste or planed if needed, depending on final finish desired. Leave natural for rustic. We can include this if desired. Remember, every bid is custom to your plan and the home you have modified or left as is.
