Addition Estimates and Costs

Trying to figure out how much your Home Additions project is going to cost? The truth is you need to figure out several other variables first. Remodeling and Additions projects are all unique - each family and person has their own tastes, expectations, desires that need to be considered going into a project.

For example, one family might be looking to add a bedroom and bathroom for their children. Their current home is situated on a flat lot, with room to easily expand where they want to. Their existing home also has a simple roof plan that allows the physical connection of the addition to be completed without major structural changes to the existing home. The plumbing system already has adequate capacity for the added bathroom and making the connections for the drain and water supply aren't that difficult. Their municipality that governs construction permits and procedures is easy to work with, resulting in less energy and costs to their contractor. And the requirements for the finish level of the addition are not extremely high - because it is a kids space and doesn't include lots of fancier, more expensive details.

For our second example, a young professional is looking to remodel an existing bathroom in her condo. Because the condo association has very strict rules about how and what work can take place, the costs and time spent by her contractor for obtaining the permits and approving the work will be significantly higher (independent of the actual project size!). Additionally, even though she is not adding square footage to her residence, she really desires a nice bathroom! Thus, her finish level in tile, countertops, bathtub, plumbing fixtures and lighting is all significantly more expensive than the first family who was seeking to keep things basic.

Contractors and builders in the Scottsdale area will provide you a range of Price per Square Foot for you to determine the total outlay for the project. The first family could likely be budgeted between a cost range of $70/foot to $150/foot. Our young professional in the second instance was likely to have a higher range of between $200 and $400 per square feet because of all the expensive fittings involved. The bathrooms and kitchens tend to be the most expensive rooms in a home, because these include most of a home’s systems like the electrical, plumbing, HVAC system.
