How long does it take and how much does it cost to build a lake?

Along time with a shovel or a few months with big trucks.  They try to tell us it a few million and takes 3-4 years but thats the gov. for you!

I don't quite understand the question. I am a project engineer for a chcolate manufacturer.. $3m will not get you far if you need to build a factory

If you want to build a custom home, expect to pay a minimum of $100 per sf.; more like $125/sf if you want something nice.   If you are talking about a new cookie-cutter spec. home, they tend to start out at around $75/sf, and go up from there, depending on the neighborhood and builder.

It will take about $100,000 dollars and up to start. Why not start something cheaper? Start a business on something you know how to dobest.

Traa2k1 is correct.  But don't hesitate to contact an engineering architect since your house is also involved.  I once read that a good architect can more than save you his/her fees on the costs of materials and construction, especially by getting the job done right, first time.  Also, your project involves the soil where the pool will be built and that needs expert attention too, especially if the pool is concrete and subject to frost heave and seasonal draining.  Rather than a wall of glass, also consider port holes to save on costs.  Good luck.\n\nIncidentally, even though your pool may be spectacular it may not increase your property value.  If you sold the house, of 100 people looking at it, perhaps half will not even want a pool and many others will consider that they can always add one.  The value of a house depends on demand, right.  It might be worth consulting with a real estate friend.

You can have different sizes of the pool, for example: \n20 ft. wide pool 1800:20=90ft. long \nor 25ft. wide pool 1800:25=72 ft. long\nor 30 ft. wide pool 1800: 30=60 ft. long\nI would clarify with the owner what pool width he or she prefers.\nFor the side decks we add 2x5 ft.=10ft to the chosen width of the pool \nFor the end decks we add 2x10ft.=20 ft.to the length of the pool \n\nthus the pool site should be over\n\n(20 +10) x (90+10)=30'x100'\nor\n(25+10) x (72 + 10)=35' x 82'\nor\n(30 + 10)x (60+10)= 40'x 70'\n\nPlease remember to add the pool clearances from the property line as per local municipal codes. Also, the machines used for digging have to have access from this property, not from the neighbours yards.  The smaller they are the more difficult and expensive the job is. \nIf we add about 10 ft. for access (and clearance) on each side we end up with a poll site: \n(20+20)x(90+20)=40'x110'\n(25+20)x(72+20)=45'x92'\n(30+20) x(60+20)=50'x80'\n \nAn addition of the area needed for the house will give you the minimum lot size required.\nGood luck!

Wow.  You have just over-simplified a very complicated question.  Congratulations.  Now, here's your answer:\n\nIt really depends most upon your building products.  If you are building out of straw, it costs less than wood or brick, but you probably won't have as sturdy of a building.  If you are looking for protection from the huff and puff of the wind, go with brick.  It should run you about 4 million ruples a square acre.

By looking at all the times this question has been asked,\nI would guess between $15,000 and $30,000 USD.\n\nHere is a quick estimate from the Illinois Asphalt\nAssoc. (http://www.il-asphalt.org/tenniscourts.html)\n\n"Properly installed, hard courts are generally considered\nto be durable and to require relatively low maintenance.\nInstallation costs range from $18,000 - $40,000, depending\nupon the specific construction."

If its a buddy and its an e-commerce site, 12% commision on sales. To maintain and update and all that stuff is Per Hour Fee. One month might take 1 hour, another might take 15, depends on the traffic,server,setup and alot of variables.

Sheikra cost $13.5 million to construct.\n\nShakira would be a LOT more expensive! :-)\n\nHope this helps!

Look on the pump for tax info.\n\n\nRefineries are EXPENSIVE as hell, and hard to get permits for because no one wants them in their area.

depends on the use of the timber. if you going to make a house it will probably take over a good 50 years for it to get to a decent size, but if it's going to be used for a smaller project or fire wood 20 or so years would probably be enough

This is a bit difficult question cause it takes lots of factors like how many resources you have (or going to allocate for the project). Do you have a clearly defined scope of work?? System Design??? if you have answers for these then lets break to project in to phases like  feasibility study, requirement gathering, analysis, design, coding and implementation. Each phase break it in to smaller tasks like getting approvals, visiting different locations etc. \n\nNow estimate number of days your resources going to spend on each task depending on the level of experiance the resources have. Here you need consider their previous experience and keep gaps for paper work and other manual processors.\n\nOnce you arrive on total number of days, then it is easy, you calculate what is your man day cost and add your profit margin. Then multiple Man Days * charge per day, that is the price estimation and number of days is the time estimation. Make sure you have buffers in case of something goes wrong in a phase. Size of the buffer needs to justify and realistic.

That would be cost prohibitive for the average person.\n\nCreating a small Pond on your own property would cost you many 1000s of dollars.\n\nThere are too many challenges to list here at this time.\n\nHowever, The US Army Corp. of Engineers are experts in this area.\n\nTry this site first:\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rls=PCTA,PCTA:2006-41,PCTA:en&q=army+corp+of+engineers\n\nGood Luck

Buy a "backyard ice rink" kit. I've seen these advertised in hockey magazines like the USA Hockey members magazine. They are easily found on the web as well. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you will minimally need to put together some kind of frame and potentially lay out plastic to keep the water from seeping into the ground.  If you have a natural depression in your yard (as was the case with my dirt driveway when growing up) and you don't care about the shape of your rink you could just fill it with water when it gets cold enough.  You can't get much cheaper than that!

It depends. \nIt could take anywhere from a couple of months to almost a year.
