Default $135 per foot?

well since a bedroom doesn't require appliances, and it supposedly
costs the same to remodel as a kitchen, appliances must not be
included. your number is the roughest of ballparks. think of it.
remodel a kitchen with new counters, flooring, cabinetry, etc for the
same square foot cost as a carpeted bedroom? how could that be?

I have seen in a number of different places that $135/sf is a good
ballpark cost figure to use for rough estimating on a remodeling job.
For example, I am adding a 1 story 8'x8' room to my house, so
8x8x135=$8,640 ballpark cost. Or, I am redoing a 10'x15' kitchen, so
10x15x135=$20,250.

My question is: Does this number include things like appliances, or is
it generally just construction materials and labor?


If you think a bedroom does not require appliances you have never met
my girlfriend.
