Hello -
I spoke to two construction companies and asked them to give me a
ballpark estimate as to what the minimal budget would be for this kind
of project. One of them quoted $100 per square foot, and another was
$150 per square foot (parking lot included -- no additional price per
square foot). Both assumed basic wood frame, panelized roof, masonry
block walls, and sheetrocked interior. In addition, utilities that
have to be brought in from the street will each cost somewhere in the
$20,000 range. This will be dependent on the property/location.

Step-by-step instructions are below with regards to legal matters
concerning your building. Hiring an architect to assist in drawing
site plans, elevations, and building plans will be required as one of
your first steps. Important update to site requirements for your
architect: Amount of required landscaping has been reduced to 15% from
25%.
1) Check zoning for your site. Zones R-1, R-2, R-3, and C-1 require a
conditional permit; however, C-2 is permitted without one. Ask for
the Planning Department at 909-370-5079. They will tell you the zone
for the property. Requirements for each zone are listed at this link:
http://bpc.iserver.net/codes/colton/index.htm
2) Submit 12 copies (or 22 if conditional zone) of site plans and 12
(or 22 if conditional zone) elevations, along with preliminary title
report, samples board, with development application, found here:
http://www.ci.colton.ca.us/Documents/Community%20Development/Planning/developmentapp.pdf
Submit to:
Community Development
659 N. La Cadena
Colton, CA 92324
Requirements for site plans are here:
http://www.ci.colton.ca.us/Documents/Community%20Development/Planning/ppreq.pdf
3) You will then participate in design review meeting. You will
receive a letter within about two weeks with a decision as to whether
you're permitted to build.
5) Call (909-370-5079) and ask for Jesse Webster to discuss, among
other requirements, how many building plans to submit. Confirm the
following address:
Jesse Webster

Colton, CA 92324
You will be notified within a few weeks of what corrections are necessary.
6) Building permits will be granted. Start building!
If you need any additional clarification or information, please don't
hesitate to ask.

Hello bing -
1. The price for $100 per sqft, is it included with parking lot area?
Parking lot is included with both quotes (no additional price per
square foot for the parking lot).
2. Can you estimate the total cost or breakdown for utilities?
It's impossible to tell without knowing the exact property, but you
can figure somewhere in the range of $20,000 per utility that must be
brought from the road to your property. Some properties will already
have one or more utilities at your location, so you won't incur that
cost as appropriate.
I am currently out of town, so I will get back to you by Friday on the
additional questions.
Thanks,

3. The estimate cost for hiring Architect?
I spoke to two architects in the area. Both agreed that 8%-12% of
total construction costs is a good estimate for the price of an
architect. That price would include a turnkey solution: architectural
and civil engineering for everything -- site plans, building,
elevations, interior, exterior, budgeting, approvals etc.

4. The price range for lot per sqft in Colton area?
I spoke to Sierra Realty, who gave me some quotes on current lot
offerings in the Colton Area.
65,340 sq. ft (1.5 acres): $850,000 (Lockadena Dr.) = $13 / sq. ft.
58,806 sq. ft (1.35 acres): $1,090,000 (West Mill St.) = $18 / sq. ft.
21,780 sq. ft (.5 acre): $365,000 (Colton Ave.) = $16.7 / sq. ft
So, range is around $13 - $16. However, location will of course have
a lot to do with price.

5. How about the fence, concrete area and landscaping?
Without knowing your criteria and layout, it would be difficult to
budget this. How big is the fence, the concrete area? What kind of
trees, bushes? What kind of fence? How much landscaping? Part of
the architectual cost cited above would provide budgetary values for
this.
