All,

We're refinishing a basement room. 240 ft^2. We are asking the
contractor to replace 4 windows, one with a large casement egress
window. This will require cutting through the foundation blocks to
enlarge the opening and related excavation outside.

Can't say without seeing it, but this can be $2000 to $8000 right there.



In addition, we
are asking the contractor to frame the room, put up a vapor barrier &
insulation, do the electrical (about 6-8 recessed lights) and drywall
(ceiling and walls), and trim it out. He will put in built-in shelving
/ window seat / cabinets along one short wall.

Too vague to say. Shelving alone can be $200 or $200 depending on size,
materials, etc.
