How much??
Question:Can anyone give me a general figure of how much it would cost to add a 8x8 bedroom onto my home? We're thinking of a do-it-youself method. We're trying to decide if it would just be cheaper to move into a bigger home.
Any serious answers are appreciated.
Answers:
You are looking at approximately $65 to $100 per Sq. Ft. The price depends on several factors like how fancy you are getting and to some degree what part of the country you are in. Here in South GA. You could do an average addition for around $4000.
To determine a price you must answer a lot of questions.
-What are your local building code requirements?
-What is the exterior finish going to be?
-How many windows?
-Do you need to upgrade your electrical panel?
-Roof materials?
and many more ?'s
ask yourself as many ?'s as you can and write the answers down to the best of your abilities. After you have your ideas and answers then get a licensed contractor to give you an estimate. This will save you money. If you are wishy washy then you will get higher prices due to uncertainties.
Best Regards
