I would venture to guess that material for an addition of that size would be close to 15 grand. I built an outbuilding 20x24 and material was close to 9 grand, with no insulation, electrical, plumbing, or interior drywall. Good luck on that 15 grand addition. Hopefully the illegals working on it don't get injured on the job and take your retirement fund. My addition has three walls to frame, existing exterior wall only requires closing the window. is 16.5 X 18.5, requires no interior plumbing, electrical is 125 per circuit, plus front door and entry way. Given your outbldg size less than 1.5K would insulate and drywall it, material costs, so as a guesstimate based on your figures the total material cost for my extension should be less than yours, including electrical as no sub panel is needed. In any event I emailed the original contractor so we could finalize the figures. So I should know within a couple weeks. No one will be working at this property without insurance. You're leaving a lot out. Good luck with that. I can't cite everything it would be boring for most people. Our phones and Tv's, computers, are all wireless, no wet bar in the LR, just a middle class home in So. Cal. Stucco on the outside, with bricks on the lower part of the walls in the front. New price is slightly less than 40, his spreadsheet only included costs for the existing LR mods. Includes relocating kitchen plumbing a few feet. I could send up a floor plan to the other ng, but with the troll clown about I don't need the aggravation. His "karma" is going to be costly when it hits him. |
