Re: House wrapping mandatoy? 9Mar 30, 2015 11:35 am I worked it out to be about $400ish just in material cost for my home, top and bottom storys. I could do this myself with a carpenter mate, but not allowed due to builders rules. However I asked our SS about it and quote to install it, he sounded reluctant and said something about the brickies will now have to use a different brick tie and that its wasting money since I have normal batt insulation already. However if I really wanted to get it done it will cost me $2500. I was taken back by the cost and markup to do it so I decide not to get it done now. I now feel that I should have done more research into all aspects of building a house so that all this type of items have been included or negotiated prior to tender stage. That way you still have the upper hand by walking away and so the builder will be more competeive with their pricing to get your business.

Instead of using a brick tie that nails onto the side of the stud they use one that is nailed onto the edge of the stud facing out over the sarking. Big deal. A waste eh? He obviously doesn't know much about increasing the comfort factor of a house by increased insulation.
